Dataphin retains recurring instance operation logs for 15 calendar days by default and then purges them. Authorized users can customize the log retention period and configure periodic purging for data backfill workflows and one-time instances.
Limits
Baseline instances cannot be configured and are always retained for 15 calendar days.
Permission description
By default, only super administrators and system administrators can modify instance storage configurations.
Procedure
-
To access the Instance Storage Configuration page, follow the steps below:
Select Global Configuration -> Instance Storage Configuration.

-
Click Edit to set the retention period for instances and operation logs.
Changes take effect immediately. Instances and operation logs that exceed the retention period are automatically purged. A longer retention period increases storage usage.

Description

One-time instance and operation log periodic purge
Disabled by default. When enabled, you can set the retention period for one-time instances and their operation logs.
