My limited experience with storing long-term data:
Members in meetings requested that we store defined data at a defined interval.
The data was stored.
The data was stored.
and
The data was stored.
That was all that was done with the data. No one wanted to do anything with it -- not even the requesting members...
Do you have a committed consumer for your stored data?
In my case, storing the data for all sorts of data mining/process displaying sounded great in a meeting, but no consumers materialized and the data capturing stagnated.
I've been through this many times over the years. I usually provide a report or two with the collected data then see they have no interest. After that I step away and watch the process Store Data, Repeat.
