What is the maximum configurable data retention period for RUM Session Replay data?

The maximum configurable data retention period for RUM (Real User Monitoring) Session Replay data is 35 days. This is an important feature for organizations using Dynatrace, as it allows them to store and revisit user interaction sessions for a significant period. Retaining this data enables more thorough analysis of user behaviors, improves troubleshooting of performance issues, and helps develop a better understanding of user experiences within web applications.

Configuring retention periods is crucial for balancing data accessibility with storage costs and compliance considerations. While shorter retention durations can limit the insights available for long-term analysis, the 35-day option strikes a reasonable balance, ensuring that organizations can extract value from user session data without overwhelming their storage infrastructure.

Understanding the retention limits and their implications helps teams manage their analytics strategy effectively, ensuring that they have the necessary data for optimizing user experience.
