Hello,

thank you for your interest in our PRTG Network Monitor

  1. The database used in PRTG is a proprietary format.
  2. Access to the database is possible through PRTG (reports / graphical interface / historic data) or PRTGs API.
  3. This is a setting that can be defined by the user under "Setup"->"System Setup"->"Data Purging Limits"->"Historic Database" in PRTG. The default limit is 365 days.

Best Regards.
