Hello, I’m looking at the pricing sheet, and I’m not sure I understand this 14 days retention properly.
I have a small project with a few Visualization Panel that show data from influxDB database. There is a cyclic task completely independent of Grafana that insert data into the db with timestamp and then I use Timeseries plot to look at the data. Does this 14 days of retention means, that the data will be removed from the database after 14 days? I don0t believe so, but just want to double check it.
You can store your data in InfluxDB and the 14-day retention will not matter. Retention limits are only applicable for data that is forwarded to Grafana Cloud for storage. This might be metrics sent by Grafana Alloy or traces sent by the OTel Collector. Since your data is stored in a datasource that you manage and you connect that data source to Grafana Cloud, retention limits do not apply and you can query as far back as the data exists in your data source.
