By default, retention period is set to 15 days for logs and traces, and 30 days for metrics. To set retention period for metrics, traces and logs, you can navigate to the General tab on the Settings page.
When retention settings are updated, the changes apply only to newly ingested data. Existing data retains the previous retention settings, as updating retention for existing data is a resource-intensive process.
Once data reaches its TTL, it is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Increasing the retention period later does not restore previously expired data.
- You can select independent retention period for metrics, traces and logs.
- Click
Saveto update the new retention periods.
