Data Retention
As of July 2020, the data retention policies for Sysdig Monitor and Sysdig Secure are as described below.
When a host or instance is no longer monitored (i.e. when an agent is uninstalled), the historical data continues to be retained for the stated times.
Note
If required, it is possible to change the standard data retention settings using Sysdig's REST API. A Sysdig support team or professional services member should assist, as there are a variety of storage and timeline implications to consider before making such a change.
See Subscription for details on the Essentials and Enterprise tiers.
