.. index:: deferredjobstorage
Deferred storage is where the JSON/dump pairs are saved if they've been filtered out by :ref:`collector-chapter` throttling. The location of the deferred job storage is determined by the configuration parameter deferredStorageRoot found in the :ref:`commonconfig-chapter`.
JSON/dump pairs that are saved in deferred storage are not likely to ever be processed further. They are held for a configurable number of days until deleted by :ref:`deferredcleanup-chapter`.
Occasionally, a developer will request a report via :ref:`reporter-chapter` on a job that was saved in deferred storage. :ref:`monitor-chapter` will look for the job in deferred storage if it cannot find it in standard storage.
For more information on the storage technique, see :ref:`filesystem-chapter`
