What is the default retention period for events stored in the System Log in Okta?

The default retention period for events stored in the System Log in Okta is 90 days. This means that any event data, such as logins, authentications, and other actions taken within the Okta environment, will be maintained for this duration. After 90 days, the event data is purged, which helps manage storage and ensures compliance with data management policies.

The 90-day retention period allows organizations to perform necessary audits and monitoring activities without keeping excessive amounts of historical data that may not be needed for long-term analysis. This policy strikes a balance between operational needs and the limitations of data storage, ensuring that relevant historical data is available when needed for troubleshooting or compliance purposes.
