Retention
How long stored log entries remain queryable. Retention never invents longer windows than the plan (or contract) allows.
Plan windows#
- Free — 1 day.
- Pro — 7 days. Add-ons don’t change retention.
Monthly ingest volume is separate: Free 50 MiB, Pro 1 GiB. See Limits & Quotas.
Existing contracts#
Pro, annual and Team subscriptions bought before the current package keep their original retention (Pro 7 days, Team 30 days) until cancelled. Enterprise retention is provisioned per contract. Until a positive retention policy is configured, effective retention stays 0 — search and export fail closed rather than assuming a default (for example 90 days).
Cleanup#
Retention jobs delete rows older than the effective window for each workspace. After deletion, those events cannot be searched or exported.
Limitations
- Export and search cannot reach beyond the retention window.
- Downgrading plans shortens the effective window; older rows are cleaned up.
- Logs storage is Postgres — retention applies to that store.
