Hey <@U03EWS8GW77>

You can set TTL from setting page from SigNoz UI.

*Total retention period* is the total duration for the data (metrics/traces/logs).

*Move to S3* is the duration after which data in disk (volume) is moved to cold storage.

<@U02SS3ZAMKQ> Thank you for your reply. Below is setting which i have set now, but am not sure whether it is correct or not. Can you please let me know whether the below setting is correct or not ? (I want all the data or logs or metrics store in the disk which are older than 7 days needs to be move to s3 bucket)

The setting you have done is such that telemetry data is stored in disk for 6 days and moved to S3, where it is stored for 1 day (7 - 6) before getting removed.

Can you help me what value should i use to achieve my requirement.

*Total retention period: `30 days`*
*Move to S3: `7 days`*

^ This configuration moves data from disk to S3 in *7 days*, while data is removed from S3 after *30 days*.

<@U021J8BQQ0Y> can you please update the docs to include above information in detail?
