A system and method for management of network monitoring information includes a non-transient memory and one or more processors coupled to the non-transient memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transient memory to cause the information handling system to perform operations, The operations include collecting real-time network monitoring information from one or more network switching units, storing the collected real-time network monitoring information in a data storage system using a first column family, periodically aggregating the collected real-time network monitoring information to generate corresponding history information, storing the aggregated history information in the data storage system using a second column family different from the first column family, retrieving information from the data storage system based on one or more first queries, the stored real-time network monitoring information, and the stored aggregated history information, and providing the retrieved information for use during network monitoring.
