How old data is returned by snapmirror show-history? Is there any official document/help which states the interval for which the history is returned? Based on this post, data is returned for last 24 hours but I could not find any documentation for the same.

Hi there!

Per our internal documentation, I believe it is 48 hours, not 24, however I have asked our documentation team to clarify the documentation page at https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.dot-cm-cmpr-920%2Fsnapmirror__show-history.html&cp=5_8_19_16 and provided feedback on a not terribly helpful KB article at https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Protection_and_Security/SnapMirror/Can_%22snapmirror_show-history%22_command_display_the_history_for_a_week_ago

Thanks!
