I see that monitoring visualizations are available for only last one week. Is that the default behavior? Whether this duration is configurable?

Yes, that appears to be the default behavior controlled by `xpack.monitoring.history.duration` as described here; [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/monitoring-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/monitoring-settings.html)
There may be some limitations to what you can do if you're running with a Basic license on your X-Pack.
Regards,
Lee
