Resolution of Paragon Active Assurance measurement data

Time series of Paragon Active Assurance measurement data are stored in a round-robin database, where older data is progressively consolidated into lower resolutions.

Resolution for monitoring sessions

In each of your monitoring sessions, the Test Agents periodically collect measurement data in 10-second intervals, then compile the results into individual measurement reports and send them to the Paragon Active Assurance server. The measurement data can be said to have a “resolution” of 10 seconds.

In the database, the 10-second resolution is retained for data from the last 12 hours. Older data is aggregated as indicated in the following table:

Timeframe	Resolution
12 hours	10 seconds
2 days	1 minute
1 week	5 minutes
1 month	20 minutes
1 year	4 hours

Resolution for tests

Tests in Paragon Active Assurance use a higher resolution than monitoring sessions. For tests of duration up to 1 hour, the resolution is 1 second; for tests up to 2 hours in length, the resolution is 2 seconds; and so on for longer tests.
