Time Parameters

You can configure the time settings:

By default, the minimum segment duration is 0 for new backend profiles, meaning that the segment duration is not limited. You can change it by editing the "minimum segment duration in minutes" if the profile is not used by a backend.

• Minimum segment duration in minutes: the minimum segment duration is available by default. You can change the minimum segment duration of a profile.
• Supports months and years setting for retention and segment duration: Some databases (such as InfluxDB®) just support constant time periods (such as hours, days, weeks) and not time periods of varying length (such as months and years) for retention and segment durations.

• Retention can be modified after creation.
• Segment duration can be modified after creation: Some databases (such as InfluxDB®) do not allow you to change the segment duration after it has been created. Other databases such as PostgreSQL again allow you to change the segment duration after it has been created.
