Configure Retention Periods for Logs, Traces and Metrics

Self-Host - This page applies to self-hosted SigNoz editions.

Default Retention Periods

By default, SigNoz retains logs and traces for 15 days, and metrics for 30 days.

Change Your Retention Period

The Workspace tab on the Settings page shows your current retention periods.

Pick your new retention period for each signal:

  • Logs: 15, 30, 90, 180 days, or 1 year
  • Metrics: 1, 3, 6, or 13 months
  • Traces: 15, 30, 90, 180 days, or 1 year

Retention changes affect pricing. Use the pricing calculator to estimate your new bill.

Then contact support with the periods you want, either through the chatbox in the bottom-right of your SigNoz Cloud interface or by email at cloud-support@signoz.io.
