Hi Community,
We are using Dynatrace SaaS (Gen3) and are evaluating options for long-term data retention and backup.
Does Dynatrace provide any native capability to archive or export observability data (metrics, logs, traces, events, etc.) to customer-managed storage, such as:
Our objective is to retain historical data beyond the standard Dynatrace retention periods and maintain a backup/archive in our own storage account.
Specifically, we would like to understand:
- Is there a native feature to automatically archive data from Dynatrace SaaS to S3 or Azure Blob Storage?
- Which data types can be exported (logs, metrics, traces, events, business events, etc.)?
- Are there any recommended architectures or best practices for long-term retention and compliance requirements?
- If native archiving is not available, what approaches are commonly used by customers?
Any guidance, documentation references, or real-world experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
