Hi @psp316r.

You may need to check the Influx site for guidance around archiving data if you're hosting ThingWorx on-premise.  If you're inquiring about a PTC Cloud instance, we would need to open a case for discussion with the Cloud team.

Hi,

After a couple of the Architecture meetings with PTC. The flow is as follows:

InfluxDB Cloud ---> Python--->Azure Data Lake(Blob Storage).

Python Scripts runs monthly to store the previous month's data in the Blob Storage. Containers are created in the Blob Storage based on the Things.

Based on the Business use case, this was one of the best practices I came up with for the Archival, where Azure Cognitive Services can be used for Data Analytics and predictive Maintenance or the Chat GPT.

Thanks,
