Question

With the new data retention rules, will data saved in blob storage be visible in AppCenter?

Elias 1

Since the retention rules are changing pr the first of june, will data we set up to be stored in a blob storage be visible through AppCenter still, so it's still possible to view data for 90 days. or will there in AppCenter only be 28 days data visible?

@Elias Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here.

For better understanding the issue: Can you please elaborate bit more on your query? What retention policy/rules are you referring to? May I know are you referring to any document related to Azure blob retention rules changing in June?

Additional information: The minimum retention interval for a time-based retention policy is one day, and the maximum is 146,000 days (400 years).

There 2 types of policies in blob: Time-based retention polices and Legal hold policies. refer to this article for detailed information on the policies.

I am referring to the changes in general data retention in AppCenter which is being changed from 90 to 28 days in june. I am therefor wondering, if it is possible with implementation of blobstorage or insights to still get the visualisation of data up to 90 days in AppCenter as before, or it will be limited to 28 days. And therefor other/older data will have to be pulled from elsewhere (blobstorage/insights)

I am talking about AppCenter as in https://appcenter.ms/
I am reffering to a mail that was sent out by the support team for AppCenter. in this mail the following was stated
Today, Analytics and Diagnostics data is retained for 90 days by default, with very few caps on the volume of data generated per application. This has led to unsustainably high data volumes across these two services. Today we are announcing a scaling back of the data retention policy in App Center. Starting June 30, 2022, Analytics and Diagnostics data retention will be limited to 28 days.
Therefor my question is, if we save out data in a blob will this data still be visible in AppCenter after the 28 days of retention?
