Raw data in ArcGIS Monitor is continually aggregated and truncated when more than 14 days old. Only aggregate data (day, month, year) is stored after that. The size of the database grows rapidly in the first 14 days and then stabilizes. Once you have 14 days of data, a growth rate of 1 GB per month is typical.
