Postgres itself does not have any way to define a retention period for data as you describe. Once the data goes in, the user or application must issue a statement to delete the data, This would be done by the application vendor ( Cisco). Most likely it’s a configuration option on the admin section of the application. I recommend you contact Cisco support for details.
