Hello Team,

I got one requirement, any data or metrics or logs older than 7 days needs to be moved to my s3 bucket, i have s3 bucket enabled in my signoz can anyone help me how should i achieve this.

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.

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?
