What is the maximum data retention time for synthetic data in Dynatrace SaaS?

The maximum data retention time for synthetic data in Dynatrace SaaS is indeed set at 35 days. This retention period provides users with a defined window in which they can analyze synthetic monitoring data, which encompasses various metrics and insights collected from the simulated user interactions.

This timeframe is essential for ensuring that users can promptly access recent synthetic monitoring information while also managing storage and performance. Retaining data for too long can lead to storage inefficiencies and unnecessary complexity when analyzing trends over extended periods.

In contrast, a configurable option would imply that users could modify the retention policy as needed, which is not the case. Additionally, options like one year or shorter periods such as 30 days do not reflect Dynatrace's actual policy regarding synthetic data retention. Understanding this specific retention period helps users effectively plan their monitoring strategies and usage of the Dynatrace platform.
