Where are guidelines for data purging?

Hello, as usual I am a big fan of SQLMonitor, it is an enormous help to our small DBA shop. Brilliant software!
In the past, the Configuration > Data Purging screen provided some guidance for the data purging settings. In other words, it labeled the various types of data as "high volume", "medium volume", and "low volume". Is that guidance/labeling still available somewhere? I could not find it in the documentation. For example, I have most settings at 1 week to 2 months, but Alert data is set to 6 months, because I think it was labeled "low volume". We have limited resources and I'm trying not to grow the database too large. Thanks!

This information mentioned was this https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SM4/Purging+SQL+Monitor+data from SQL Monitor v4 on guideline values for the various groups of data. The guideline purge windows were removed in v5 but this page here https://documentation.red-gate.com/disp ... nitor+data has the updated information for v5 with some additional information at the end.
Kind regards,
Alex
