Collecting less data also reduces the memory footprint of the Health Center client. For related information about collecting less data, see Controlling the amount of data generated.
The Health Center stores a configurable amount of historical data. Storing less historical data reduces the memory footprint of the Health Center and improves performance. To configure the age at which data is discarded and how often the Health Center deletes old data, modify the data storage settings as described in Saving data.
