When does the file aging mechanism consider data for removal?

The file aging mechanism in Dynatrace is designed to manage storage efficiently by removing data that is no longer relevant or needed. It specifically considers data for removal when it is older than 14 days. This threshold ensures that more recent data is retained for operational and analytical purposes while allowing older data to be archived or deleted as needed to free up resources.

The mechanism is important for maintaining system performance and efficiency, as it prevents the accumulation of outdated information that may no longer have value. Retaining data beyond a certain age, such as 30 days, might lead to unnecessary consumption of storage resources and could hinder performance, highlighting the importance of the 14-day parameter.

This system aligns with typical data management practices in many analytics platforms, where timely, actionable insights are prioritized.
