Edit the Data Retention Period for an Instance

By default, Standard and Enterprise edition instances retain data for 32 days, and Healthcare edition instances retain data for 184 days. If you have an Enterprise edition instance, you can change the data retention period if you want.

Note

  • You can't change the retention period for Standard or Healthcare edition instances.
  • Increasing your data retention period will increase your message consumption, and may increase your message pack consumption cost.
  • If you later decrease your data retention period, your message consumption will decrease, but any data older than the newly selected period will be deleted when you save your selection.

For details on how extended data retention periods affect your message usage, see About Integrations Usage.

To edit the data retention period:

  1. On the Integration instance details page, next to Data retention, click Manage.

    The Manage data retention dialog is displayed.

  2. Select a new data retention period.
    Make sure to consider how this change will affect your message consumption, how it might affect your message pack cost, and, if decreasing your data retention period, the effect of losing any data older than the newly selected period.
  3. Click Save.
