 Sometimes you expect to see certain data in VMware Aria Operations for Applications (formerly known as Tanzu Observability by Wavefront) but, for some reason, it doesn't show up! This can be a frustrating and confusing experience, especially when you urgently need the data. Operations for Applications does not delete data - the [retention period](terms_of_service.html#data-retention) is 18 months for persistent metrics and 28 days for ephemeral metrics. What could be the problem?

 This doc page, based on the extensive experience of our customer success team, helps you investigate, understand, and remedy possible causes. In addition to manually investigating and troubleshooting your issues, you can use the [Query Analyzer](query_language_performance.html#use-the-query-analyzer) which helps you identify where exactly the problem is.
