### Retention
Metrics is stored in directories per month. Retention occurs on the first day of the new month.
In order to keep data according to `retentionPeriod` max disk usage is going to be `retentionPeriod` + 1 month.
For example if you have `retentionPeriod` set to 1, january data will be deleted at March 1st.
