After how many days is the monitoring data permanently deleted for a SaaS license?

The monitoring data for a SaaS license in Dynatrace is permanently deleted after 60 days. This timeframe is established to ensure that customers have sufficient time to access and analyze their monitoring data, while also adhering to data retention policies. By retaining data for this long, users can investigate trends, troubleshoot issues, and obtain insights into application performance over a significant period.

In the practical context of IT monitoring, a 60-day retention period strikes a balance: it allows organizations to have historical data at their disposal for analysis, while also managing storage resources effectively within the SaaS environment. After this period, the data is removed to maintain operational efficiency, reduce clutter, and comply with data management regulations.

This length of time underscores the importance of periodic reviews and data exports to retain necessary information before it is eliminated from the system.
