The database stores: • > Monitoring data collected from Monitoring Agents. • Metadata for Ops > Manager users, groups, hosts, monitoring data, and backup state. For > topology and specifications, see Ops Manager Application Database > Hardware. At the moment we only enabled Monitoring Agent on Prod. But we wish to enable it on all environments, but cleanup metrics data older than 30 days. In Oracle you can do something like this. This statement can be scheduled jobs with Oracle Scheduler. DELETE FROM YOUR_TABLE WHERE creation_date <= TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 30 The same we wish to to with Automation agent DEBUG logs. Howto do this with MongoDB MMS meta databases? From [FAQ][1] > What is the data retention policy for Ops Manager? Ops Manager retains > two distinct types of data: metrics, which describe usage; and > snapshots, which back up your data. > > Data-retention policies, as defined in the Terms of Service, are > always subject to change. > > As of this writing, Ops Manager preserves: > > Minute-level metrics for 48 hours. Hourly metrics for 94 days. > Snapshots according to their retention policy. [1]: https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/v1.6/faq/#data-retention
