Applies To: ''buffer period'' before purging data

Hello,

I\'ve witnessed an issue twice now that is very concerning to me. If a

datasource definition is modified and an incorrect \'\'Applies To\'\' filter is

added or modified resulting in the datasource being removed from a device

then all historical data on previous checks is erased. I can understand the

logic on why the previous data was dumped but I do not understand why it\'s

not being retained for a least a buffer period of time to prevent this type

of data loss.

Is there anything that can be done to restore this historical data after it

is lost and can the application be changed to retain that data for a period

of time to skirt any bad rules destroying all the the historical data.

Thanks,

Patrick
