What is the maximum retention period for time series data in Dynatrace?

The maximum retention period for time series data in Dynatrace is 5 years. Dynatrace offers a range of data retention policies, which are designed to balance the need for historical data analysis with storage limitations. Retaining time series data for up to 5 years allows organizations to perform long-term trend analysis, capacity planning, and correlate historical performance data with current metrics effectively.

This retention period is particularly beneficial for businesses that require insights from several years of historical data to make informed decisions and strategies. While some other options might suggest longer time frames, they do not align with Dynatrace's policy, ensuring that the system remains efficient and that users are provided with relevant data while managing storage resources efficiently.
