Retention Settings
EventLog Analyzer retains log data in its database for a customizable time period. The database contains two sets of log data: raw logs and formatted logs. You can customize separate time periods for both the log data. After this period, the data will be permanently deleted from the database. Keeping the logs in the database forever will consume memory and increase overhead costs.
Note: The archive and database storage are asynchronous operations i.e. they are unrelated.
