Variable data retention (longer or shorter than the 90-day default)
Please provide longer retention for raw data. I'm willing to pay for (the additional azure storage)!

We are still taking requests for onboarding to the preview of Application Insights variable retention. Some features required to enable this via self-service are taking longer than expected, but we are still working it, and in the meantime will be glad to enable your Application Insights resource to have different retention settings.
The first iteration of this feature will allow setting retention up to 2 years in several increments for each Application Insights resource (e.g. not by data type). The pricing for this will follow the same Azure Monitor log data retention pricing as used by Log Analytics.
We will be able to onboard a limited number of customers manually in the coming weeks. If you’re interested, please send me (dalek@microsoft.com) the instrumentation key(s) of your Application Insights resource(s), and the desired retention duration (30, 60, 120, 180, 270, 365, 550 or 730 days).
Thank you
Dale Koetke

The Application Insights retention period should also be the same as Log Analytics. I was forwarding to Log Analytics with Application Insights Connector management solution when storage for more than 90 days was required.
https://docs.microsoft.com/ja-jp/azure/azure-monitor/platform/app-insights-connector
However, the Application Insights Connector was retired in 6/30.
It is inconvenient that the Connector management solution is discontinued prior to this ticket. -

Hello App Insights team,
A fine-grained policy would be very welcome. E.g. some data would be stored for 7 days only, others for 2 month.

what if we have missed to export application insights data and 90 days has elapsed? What is the process to fetch the data prior to 90 days?

Hi App Insights product team,
This feature is definitely needed. May I know if there are plans to extend it for periods longer than 2 years?

How fine grain could that data retention be specified? Could we have some data stored for 2 days (e.g. snapshots) and the rest for 30 days?

Is this still planned for the second half of 2018? We need to be able to compare a longer period of metrics. Example: Compare last August metrics to this August metrics

GDPR is calling -- this should really be configurable

Totally agree! We should be able to get that value configurable to comply with privacy regulations

Please can you make the retention policy configurable. I want to reduce the retention only upto 2 days

To comply with upcoming GDPR regulations, AppInsights should ideally allow user to configure (reduce/increase) data retention for certain types of data. Is this feature in development ?

Should we use https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msoms/2016/09/26/application-insights-connector-in-oms/ (still in priview) to keep long term data? Or can we expect this on AI this year? What are going to be released first?
