A couple of weeks ago the Open Source Monitoring Conference (OSMC) took place in Nuremberg, Germany. For over a decade now the OSMC provides a platform for monitoring engineers and open source vendors from the field. Icinga is part of this conference since the beginning.

We all know that the history data is important in monitoring. But this history data becomes obsolete over time and those records become garbage which would only fill up space. So it is important to remove obsolete history records to free up space. We call this process housekeeping. This needs to be performed periodically to cleanup the history records whenever they exceed their maximum age and become obsolete.
