# Data Retention

## Is it possible to extend the storage period of information in Inopli, to allow later export?

Although <mark style="color:$success;">**Inopli**</mark> dashboards have a limited filtering window for visualization purposes, all alert data is retained in the database for 12 months. This retention period ensures that historical information remains accessible for analysis and compliance.

Through the Custom Reports functionality, organizations can easily extract all stored data and maintain their own extended retention period independently, ensuring full control over how long information is preserved according to internal or regulatory requirements.

## How does data retention work in on-premises and military deployments of Inopli?

In on-premises deployments, including military and sovereign environments, Inopli is delivered with a **default data retention period of 12 months** for all data stored in the platform. This configuration provides extended historical visibility for investigations, compliance, and operational analysis.

Authorized administrators can **reconfigure the data retention period directly through the administrative panel**, adjusting policies according to operational needs, storage capacity, or regulatory requirements. The platform applies these retention settings automatically, managing data rotation and safely discarding older data to ensure continuous ingestion and consistent performance.

This approach gives organizations full control over data lifecycle management while maintaining predictable storage usage and search efficiency.
