How to change default historical data collection period for Veeam ONE Server

Challenge

By default, Veeam ONE Server collects historical performance data from a newly added virtual server for the last 3 months only. In some cases it is necessary to collect data for more than 3 months.

Solution

To change the default historical performance data collection period for Veeam ONE Server, follow the instructions below:

1. Open Veeam ONE Monitor Client and remove a virtual server from the infrastructure view.

2. Log on to the Veeam ONE Server machine, open Registry Editor and navigate to the Veeam ONE Server registry folder: 
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam ONE Monitor\Service

3. Create a new value with the following settings: 
   
   Type: DWORD 
   Name: LowPerfQueryPeriod 
   Value: specify required period in decimal format (in minutes)

4. Restart Veeam ONE Monitor Server service.

5. Open Veeam ONE Monitor Client and add the virtual server in the infrastructure view.
