    Thanks to all of our customers and customer facing teams that drive feature requests to make our product better.

    I know this is a feature that was requested almost a year ago and we still view this as an item that would be valuable and we will likely implement, at this time this is not something we will do in the short-term and will need to be prioritized against other larger initiatives. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

    even application teams in my company are requesting at least a month of event data.

    My customers in general want to have a 1-month history of client run and compliance data, and currently if they see a spike in compliance issues, say from 10 days ago, they want to be able to quickly and easily see what specific items on the chef-server might have changed 10 days ago to help them correlate the issue. I.E. if a new cookbook version was pushed to prod 10 days ago, and 10 days ago there was a spike in compliance failures, there might be some correlation.

    You can pull historical data from the API. If that was better documented, would that be enough?

    I'd like to understand better what the problem is that the customer is trying to solve. How far back do we need to go? What are they looking for?
