Different Log Retention Time on the same Log Server

Post by Maggie »

Hi,
Is it possible to achieve different log retention time on the same server. eg Server Group A logs should be kept for 7 years (legal Requirement) , Server Group B logs for 6 months and Server Group C for 2 months. All this on the same server (same instance).
Thank You

This is not possible at this time, however there is a feature request to be able to expire data at different intervals in the future.

I do not have an estimate of when that will be added however.
