Then I decide to check it out if everything is OK from time to time. I would like to know the behavior of this parameter every few seconds f.x. 3-5 sec.  But, this could be a very large amount of data, so, to solve that problem I have to control the load somehow. Let me give you an example: lets say a year from now I would want to see how that parameter behaved to day. The web app would then only show me the data corresponding to a weekly update.
