Audit log history
A search in audit log cannot past the date the audit log was activated. But how long will the data in audit log been kept? Will it be possible in 2022 to search for activities that happened in 2016?
The audit log events under the Security and Compliance Center in general are kept for 90 days. If you need more, you need to export/store them on your own, or use a 3rd party tool that does that. Using ASM gives you 180 days, at additional cost.
Thanks for you feedback, Vasil. But if I don't understand why I can go back in the audit log until the moment we've started audit log recording. This is now more than 1 year ago.
Because it costs money to provide storage for all that data and make it available in near real time? :) You can ask the same question about Reports, we've always had a limited data there too.
