Log retention

Service logs are retained for 4 days.

To control retention time, set up a log integration with an Aiven for OpenSearch® service. The integration allows you to configure longer retention times for your service logs, only limited by the disk space available on the Aiven for OpenSearch® plan you have selected.

OpenSearch® together with OpenSearch® Dashboards offers comprehensive logs browsing and analytics platform.
