How to find and change logs retention policy for Azure front door

Question

I've created MS Front Door Standard and trying to enable front door access logs and all metrics send to Log Analytics Workspace(LAW). I can't find where to set the retention. I remember before there was a way to adjust it directly in LAW settings in the console, can you guide how to do this now.

Hi @Scion

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & hope you are doing well.

I understand that you want to set the data retention in the Log Analytics Workspace.

Configure the default interactive retention period of Analytics tables

1. From the Log Analytics workspaces menu in the Azure portal, select your workspace.
2. Select Usage and estimated costs in the left pane.
3. Select Data Retention at the top of the page.
4. Move the slider to increase or decrease the number of days, and then select OK.

Configure table-level retention

1. From the Log Analytics workspaces menu, select Tables. The Tables screen lists all the tables in the workspace.
2. Select the context menu for the table you want to configure and select Manage table.
3. Configure the interactive retention and total retention settings in the Data retention settings section of the table configuration screen.
