Hello everyone,
Planning to add signoz to our Kubernetes stack. Was exploring the logs storage part and found the below link:
https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/retention-period/#configuring-cold-storage---amazon-s3
Here, its mentioned "You can select independent retention period for metrics, traces and logs."
and for kubernetes in clickhouse config its written as:
Copy code
clickhouse:
coldStorage:
enabled: true
# Set free space size on default disk in bytes
defaultKeepFreeSpaceBytes: "10485760" # 10MiB
type: s3
endpoint: https://<bucket-name>.<http://s3.amazonaws.com/data/|s3.amazonaws.com/data/>
accessKey: <access_key_id>
secretAccess: <secret_access_key>
Wanted to know the if retention period can also be configured from here independently? This clickhouse configuration will affect all metrics, traces and logs?

@nitya-signoz So whatever retention period i set from UI, the logs will be moved to coldstorage post that correct?

Yeah you will have two settings, one for moving the data to cold storage and the other one for total retention.
