MCM Cassandra , increase trace retention to 4 days

Our customer from CE needs the retention data of application traces to be 4 days , instead of default 2 days.

 

We understood this is hardcoded in Cassnadra but can not be changed / configured. 

 

We are using OCP 4.10.43 + MCM 2.3.28(FP6)

    From Engineering Team:

    We appreciate your interest in increasing the trace retention from 2 days to 4 days but we have to advise against this change due to potential storage and performance issues it could create in customer's cp4mcm environment.

    Cassandra is highly performant database but increasing the trace retention would put additional strain on the storage and retrieval of large amounts of data over a longer period of time. This could lead to decreased performance and potentially cause stability issues.

    Our primary aim is ensuring the stability and performance of customer's system, and increasing the trace retention might negatively impact that. Hence declining this request.
