Am I missing something? Hello, Looking into this, it looks like there weren't any specific purge rules for GFS LAMP data, so it was using the default of 2 versions which was why you were only seeing 2 hours worth of data. I've added a new purge rule specific for GFS LAMP to keep 25 versions (hours). Within the next 24 hours you should be seeing more data.
