Introduction

The packet retention period is depending on the size of the packet store partition (i.e. the server's storage capacity), the applications recording settings and the packet rate .

Each InfiniSteam interface (Monitored Element) has a packet store, all sharing the same partition thus competing for the same capacity.

On the left, select Store and in the right-top corner, you may select the viewing period from 24h til 31d.

On the bottom-half of the screen you see the Packet Recording trend, ASR (session details) trend and ASI (metadata) trend.

The top of the vertical axis represents the size of the respective strore location.  In this example, the size of the packet store is about 70GB.  When the store is almost full, the oldest packets will be removed (FIFO).
