Abstract
Techniques provided herein allow for management of data. In various embodiments, systems and methods prune and retain data being managed by a data management system, where the managed data can include log data aggregated from one or more servers for analysis purposes. According to some embodiments, pruning can be triggered according to one or more constraints, such as the age of managed data (e.g., retain only 30 days of managed data) or the memory space required to store the managed data (e.g., retain only 100 GB worth of managed data). The constraints that trigger data pruning can be based on a data retention policy. When triggered, pruning can be performed on a fraction of the managed data stored based on the data retention policy (e.g., 3 days of full managed data, 27 days of pruned managed data). The pruning may be performed by sampling, at a desired rate, the managed data.
