How long is RUM data retained in Datadog by default?

RUM (Real User Monitoring) data is retained in Datadog by default for 15 days. This retention period allows users to analyze recent user interactions with their applications, enabling them to troubleshoot issues and optimize performance effectively. Retaining data for this duration strikes a balance between providing meaningful insights into user behavior and managing storage costs.

Shorter retention periods may not provide enough historical context for identifying trends or recurring problems, while longer retention could lead to unnecessary storage expenses. Therefore, 15 days is a suitable timeframe that allows for useful insights while maintaining efficiency in data handling.
