Discussing Data Retrieval from Custom Data Indexes at ControlUp
The conversation on Slack revolved around pulling data from custom data indexes via API. It was revealed that while there are 7 indexes with varying numbers of items, only 10,000 rows can be queried from each one. This is because EdgeDX expects filtering and aggregation to be done on the tenant side rather than the client side. The logic behind data retention was also brought up, with the max amount of data being 30 days. The discussion ended with the advice to query the collapsed index for more recent data.
