Since Spacewalk 0.7 (or now in nightly) will be available new script, which is able to delete old monitoring data.

From "man monitoring-data-cleanup":
monitoring-data-cleanup - Delete unused and old data from monitoring probes.

SYNOPSIS
       monitoring-data-cleanup [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
This script deletes data from monitoring probes older than given time frame. It can be useful to run from
       cron to periodicaly delete data which is not interesting for you.

Additionaly - in Spacewalk 0.5 and older we did not deletes data when probe has been deleted. And if you did not push scout configs you will be getting data for deleted probes too. This script will delete them
       too.

OPTIONS
       --dry-run
               No changes will be commited. All data will remain intact.

       --delete-unmatched --no-delete-unmatched
Delete data from probes, which have been already deleted. Default is to delete them.

       --keep-monitoring-data DELTA
Delete data older than DELTA. Recognized deltas are of the form:
                    +Yy +Mm +Ww +Dd +Hh +MNmn +Ss
               Examples:
                       "1year 2 months 3hours"
                       "2 business days"
