Configure Dataset Retention Policy

On this page

  • Procedure

A dataset retention policy can help manage your Data Lake storage by automatically deleting old datasets after a duration you specify. You can configure a retention polity for your Data Lake dataset through the Atlas UI.

Procedure

To configure a dataset retention policy for a pipeline, you must do the following:

1

Log in to MongoDB Atlas.

2

Go to Atlas Data Lake in the Atlas UI.

  1. If it's not already displayed, select the organization that contains your project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

  2. If it's not already displayed, select your project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.

  3. In the sidebar, click Data Lake under the Deployment heading.

3

Click the Edit icon in the Actions column for the pipeline that you want to modify.

4

Configure a Dataset Retention Policy.

  1. Toggle Dataset Retention Policy to ON.

  2. Enter a time value, in days, weeks, or months.

5

Apply the changes.

  1. Click Continue.

  2. Click Review Changes to review the changes.

  3. Click Apply Changes for the changes to take effect.

    Important

    Changes to your pipeline's dataset retention policy take effect immediately. If you lower the retention duration for a pipeline with existing datasets, then datasets that are beyond the new duration expire immediately.
