Default row limits for Matomo Cloud reports

Cloud

Matomo Cloud uses managed row limits to optimise performance. When a report exceeds its configured row limit, additional data may be grouped into an Others row.

For more information about how row limits work, see Understanding row limits and ‘Others’ rows in Matomo reports.

Matomo Cloud applies a managed configuration with enforced default limits that cannot be changed directly by users. If you require a higher limit for a specific report, contact Matomo Support to discuss your reporting requirements. Higher limits may be available depending on the report and technical requirements.

Report row limits and configuration

Actions – Page reports (Matomo 6)

Matomo 6 introduces a new archiving process for Page reports. With the new process, a single limit controls the number of Page results processed during archiving. Pages are prioritised by their number of visits before the report is built, helping to reduce the amount of data aggregated into an Others row.

  • Configurable up to 1,000 rows. Only the root table rows or the subtable rows limit can be changed, not both.
