Storage Management

Storage management app is the easiest way to manage Grail buckets in your Dynatrace environments. Grail buckets are the core building blocks of the Grail data model. All your records in Grail are stored in buckets, which exists for logs, events, metrics, business events etc. In addition to default buckets for your records, you can create and manage custom buckets.

Use Storage Management app to create and manage custom buckets to:

• Segment data per use case. Use buckets to segment high velocity data like synthetic logs or debug logs from other data, that is less frequent, like audit logs.

• Set retention times for data. Per each custom bucket, you can pick a custom retention time for the data from 1 to 3657 days, which allows you to be very granular for how long you store data in Grail.

• Manage access. You can set access policies which limit who can access data in which custom bucket in Grail.

• Optimize performance and cost. By segmenting data into separate buckets, you can speed up your queries by only fetching data from a dedicated bucket.
