Data Handling and Retention
This article discusses the types of data that Validio can access and process, as well as the retention period for each type of data.
Data retention applies mostly to Validio Managed Solution accounts.
If you have a Validio Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) deployment, Valdio does not have access to your raw data or logs and will not provide a backup solution for your installation. For VPC deployments, data retention only applies if you choose to send your performance metrics and error logs to Validio for analysis.
The following table lists the types of data Validio processes and their retention period depending on your deployment.
| Type of Data | Validio Managed Solution | Validio VPC Deployment | Retention Period (In Validio) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw Data. Only applies to streaming sources, because data is ingested. Does not apply to data warehouse sources, because there is no data ingestion. | Y | N | 1 hour after the data is processed |
| Query Logs | Y | N | 30 days |
| Logs, metrics, and traces. This data includes performance metrics and application error logs. | Y | Y1 | 60 days |
| Daily backups of environments. The backups include configuration and calculated metrics. | Y | N | 90 days |
| Anonymized calculated metrics | Y | N | Indefinite |
1 For Validio VPC deployments, you can opt-out from sending performance metrics and error logs to Validio.
Note
For data warehouse sources, Validio ingests aggregate metrics and not the raw data. The exception is when running the debug query for incidents. The query runs directly against the warehouse and displays the results. This data is not retained.
