Release Date: May 30, 2024
Affected Sections: Logs, Traces, K8s Events
Today we introduce the ability to customize your data retention policies for logs, traces, and Kubernetes events, based on specific properties.
This means that two datasets of the same kind can now also have two different retention periods. As an example, you can choose to retain error logs from cluster X for 30 days, while retaining non-error logs for the cluster for only 7 days.
This new capability offers complete flexibility and enhanced control over the management of your monitoring data.
Key Benefits
Cost optimization - gain total control over your data retention policies, so you can change the retention periods of specific data anytime to reduce the cost of your data storage.
Compliance requirements - align your data retention periods to your industry's requirements and/or organization's internal policy.

We are thrilled to announce a significant enhancement to our observability platform: the ability to select multiple clusters and investigate all their data in a single, consolidated view. This new capability allows you to simultaneously monitor as much of your environment as you choose, providing a more comprehensive picture and saving considerable time.
Key Benefits:
Unified, holistic monitoring experience for better troubleshooting: Quickly identify and resolve issues that appear in multiple clusters, reducing resolution times (MTTR) and ensuring smoother operations.
Enhanced data analysis and insight correlations: Correlate data across clusters to bring up patterns, dependencies, and performance bottlenecks that might not be as easily noticeable when monitoring each cluster individually.
Use cases:
Side-by-side comparison of DEV, STG, and PROD environments: Understand if an issue is present in one or more of your development phases by viewing your development, staging, and production environments all in one view.
Regional issue identification: Save time by quickly identifying issues that show up in multiple regions by monitoring regional clusters simultaneously.
In addition to selecting individual cluster names, you can now also create custom environment labels. This helps you group together multiple clusters that share the same purpose or have any common denominator.
As an example, you could add the custom label "DEV" to all clusters that make up your dev environments.
Once custom environment labels are added, you will see them as part of the drop-down menu. Selecting a label will show data for all the clusters that share that label.
