[Hyperic-hq-discuss] How long is performance data saved --how do we know whar to monitor for spa

How long is performance data saved --how do we know whar to monitor for space.
I would assume the database can get huge with data is storing alot of systems data. 
Is there a default for how long data is saved before it is thrown away. How do I control
this??? also things like uptime ,we would like to have a accumalative % for the year of 
certain servers or services availabilty . Is that possible to save this much data with hyperic 3.0. Either open source or EEW.
