The retention settings at http://DA:8581/rest/globalretentiondefinition should be preserved during upgrade. The values are stored on the globalretentiondefinition item in the database.
We only set the values to the default on initial install.
Was there any sort migration of the vertica DB during the upgrade?
There is no way to do the rollups. The rollups are based on messages generated from data loading and the poll data has already been loaded.
Plus as-polled only goes back 45 days by default, so there is no data to roll up.
What is the current PolledDataRetentionPeriod value?
