Question About MEA Data Persistence for Deleted Devices

Forum

Hello,

I’m currently developing an application that needs to track the number of MEAs generated by devices. To do this, I plan to use the following endpoint:
GET /tenant/statistics/device/{tenantId}/monthly/{date}

I have a question regarding data retention:
If a device is deleted, will the MEA data associated with it also be deleted at some point?
In my tests, the response from the endpoint still includes the device ID and its corresponding MEA count, even if the device no longer exists.

Can I expect this behavior to continue in the future? In other words, will historical MEA data for deleted devices remain accessible via this endpoint, or will that data eventually be removed as well?

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hello @jhorst,

Great question. Yes, you can expect historical MEA data for deleted devices to remain accessible via that endpoint.

The behavior you observed is by design. At the start of each month, we generate a monthly statistical report. Once created, this report is treated as an immutable historical record and is not altered if a device is deleted later.

These historical reports are retained for at least one year.

So, you can confidently rely on this data remaining available for your application.

Hope this helps!
