We are exploring options for processing events from a large number of GeoTab units. Our units have been collecting for the past 5 months. I would like to access this data. We can download directly from the GeoTab site, however the export options are Excel and PDF. Excel formats have a limit of 100,000 rows per file. Can the GeoEvent Server GeoTab Connector access historic (i.e. > 5 months ago) data?

I think I've found the solution! When creating the input you can specify the "Backlog Timespan (in seconds)". Setting this value seems to poll backward nicely. I also set the polling frequency to 3 which is the minimum value. This sped the download up significantly.
