Archives Reference
This page is the short working reference for people who inspect retained archive objects in the product.
What the archives view helps you answer
- Which archive objects exist for this configuration?
- Which rows are still downloadable and which are already deleted?
- How large is the retained archive volume?
- Does the current archive state match retention expectations?
Archive view matrix
| Area | What it shows | What users usually do next |
|---|---|---|
| Archive list | retained archive rows for the current configuration | filter or sort by time, size, or state |
| Status fields | whether an archive is available, deleted, or otherwise lifecycle-affected | decide whether download or cleanup is still possible |
| Size and count fields | retained volume and scale over time | estimate audit or storage relevance |
| Download and delete actions | operational handling of archive rows | retrieve evidence or clean up old objects |
Practical value guide
| Signal | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| archive row is present and downloadable | historical data is still available from MonitoringX |
| archive row exists, but file is deleted | metadata remains visible although the file is gone |
| archive volume grows quickly | retention or cleanup should be reviewed |
| old rows cluster in one period | a specific import or retention phase produced them |
Typical daily actions
| Goal | Fastest product action |
|---|---|
| find one archive period | filter by time range |
| download retained evidence | open the relevant row and use download |
| review whether cleanup happened | inspect deleted versus available rows |
| estimate retention pressure | compare archive sizes and row counts |
Quick operator checks
- Is the archive row only metadata, or is the file still available?
- Does the visible volume fit the expected retention policy?
- Is the question about archived files or actually about message payload retention?
- Do you need runtime behavior from worker or tenant settings to explain the state?
