Understanding Retention Period in ControlUp Location History Report

Posted on June 20, 2025

A user is looking for information on the retention period for location data in the ControlUp Location History report. It is confirmed that data is only guaranteed for 28 days, but may be retained longer if the cleanup threshold has not been exceeded. The number of devices deployed may influence the retention period.


Read the entire ‘Understanding Retention Period in ControlUp Location History Report’ thread below:

I’m using the Location History report and it appears to only have data for 30 days. I thought when I had used this same report in the past I was able to see location data for more than the last 30 days, but it has been a while, so I don’t remember for sure. I looked at the Data, location_info index and I only see data going back 30 days there as well. Is it true that the location data is only retained for 30 days, was it ever longer than that, and is there any way to increase the retention period?


How many devices do you have deployed?


we guarantee at least 28 (!) days of data but cleanup only happens when it is required so if you had less devices in the past the threshold for cleanup might not have been exceeded.
