What happens to audit logs after the retention period in Dynatrace Managed?

In Dynatrace Managed, audit logs play a crucial role in tracking user actions, system changes, and other significant events. The retention policy for these logs ensures that they are kept only for a specific period that is determined by the organization's compliance and operational needs. Once this retention period expires, the audit logs are automatically deleted. This approach helps in managing storage efficiently and ensuring that only relevant data that adheres to the retention policy is maintained. By automatically deleting the logs, Dynatrace ensures that data management aligns with necessary regulations while minimizing the risks associated with storing outdated or potentially sensitive information. This automatic deletion process is an essential part of maintaining a secure and compliant environment.
