Caution:Selecting “Keep History” saves all inventory data to Analyze and/or Normalize. Depending on the number of assets, saved inventories can grow very large and severely impact Data Platform application performance, especially reporting and analysis. Data Platform advises caution when setting “Keep History” values, and recommends monitoring saved inventory sizes frequently.
