Data retention
Vantield keeps three kinds of monitoring data, each for a different length of time. Cleanup runs automatically every night at 02:00 UTC.
| Data | Free | Pro | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual check results | 30 days | 30 days | 30 days |
| Check history (hourly) | 30 days | 180 days | 365 days |
| Resolved incidents | 90 days | 365 days | 2 years |
Individual check results
Every check is stored in full for 30 days on every plan: outcome, status code, and response time, plus the request and response details captured on failed checks. The Recent Checks list and short-range charts read from this data.
Check history
Checks are also summarized into hourly records - uptime and response time per hour - which are kept for your plan's check history window. Charts that span longer than 30 days combine the two automatically, so a 180-day chart on Pro shows your full history.
Incident history
An incident records one outage: when it started, when it resolved, and its root cause. Resolved incidents are kept for your plan's incident window, measured from the time they resolved, so a long outage is not deleted the night it ends. Open incidents are never deleted.
Incident history is always at least as long as check history on the same plan, so every period of downtime in your charts still has an incident explaining it.
Changing plans
Retention is re-evaluated against your current plan on every nightly run. If you downgrade to a plan with a shorter window, data older than the new window is removed on the next cleanup - not immediately. Before you confirm a downgrade, the billing page lists what will change, including how much check and incident history you keep.
