How can I store data for longer than my retention period?

In SumoLogic, the data in a partition can not be retained beyond the retention period of that partition.

However, you can leverage the Data Forwarding feature of SumoLogic which allows you to forward selected data to an external server or supported storage service.

There are two different types of data forwarding: 

• You can forward log data from an Installed Collector to an external destination at ingest time.
• You can forward raw log data being indexed from Partitions or Scheduled Views to an AWS S3 bucket. Only raw log data can be forwarded from a Scheduled View.
