Retention

Parseable allows setting the retention, or the amount of time that log data is kept in the system, for each dataset. The time can be set to a multiple of 1 day. Note that retention works at a dataset level, and each dataset can have a different retention period. Also, you can only set a single dataset per retention period.

Setting up

You can set Retention via the Dataset Management page (Dataset >> Manage >> Retention). If you're using external applications to interact with Parseable, you can also use the retention API calls. Refer to the API documentation for details.

Configuration

Here is sample retention configuration, with all the available options.

[
    {
        "duration": "20d",
        "action": "delete",
        "description": "delete logs after 20 days"
    }
]

This table explains the configuration options.
