Configuring Data Retention

The Data Retention page is used for configuring data retention in database for different data sources. Some settings depend on the license settings and will be available only if the associated configuration is set.

The following figure shows the Data Retention page.

Data retention is configured in days per data source. A value of 0 disables time based data retention.

Note:

The settings only affect the maximal lifespan of the data. Data availability is limited by available storage capabilities.

Note:

Retention times does not affect the amount of storable data.

You can configure data retention times for the following data sources:
