vRealize Log Insight - Retention Period Feature Request


Customer who are using vRealize Log Insight has a frequent query around Retention Period for logs. 
Currently to achieve a specific retention period, we need to calculate the Retention basis the log ingestion EPS and the sizing calculation for disk capacity.
Steve Flanders has written a good article around the same available here.

However it may not be necessary that we have a static environment and the log ingestion rate doesn't change. Hence the storage capacity calculation may need to be revisited.

It would be better if we can define retention period based for individual endpoints and possibly by just defining the retention time period value.

Hence i have voted for the Feature Request on loginsight.vmware.com

In case you find the requirement as a useful request, please share your vote for the same.
