Administrators define retention policies to specify how frequently they want Business Central to delete outdated data in tables that contain log entries and archived records. For example, cleaning up log entries makes it easier to work with the data that's relevant. Policies can include all data in the tables that is past the expiration date. Or you can add filter criteria to include only certain expired data in the policy.

To gather this telemetry data, you have to set up retention policies on tables that contain log entries and archived records. For more information, see Define Retention Policies in the Application help.

Telemetry is then logged for the following operations:

  • A table is added to the list of allowed tables
  • An error occurs when adding a new retention policy
  • A retention policy is enabled
  • A retention policy is applied, either manually or automatically
  • Data is deleted because of a retention policy
  • The first retention policy is enabled on a table in a company
  • The last retention policy is removed in a company

Retention policy log entry logged

Occurs when a retention policy is enabled, applied, or disabled. It provides information about the different operations related to the retention policy. This information is similar to what you see in the Retention Policy Log page in the client.
