Transcript

Analytics and metrics data will be written until the shared 20TB limit is reached. When that happens, no new data will be written. You can free up space with a manual request to delete stored Analytics data, but this is billable. Alternately, you can set up a data retention policy for logging and metrics data. To set up a policy that deletes both logging and metrics data after seven days, make a request to the Set Blob Service Properties, Set Table Service Properties, or Set Queue Service Properties operation with the RetentionPolicy nodes configured like this. It is possible to configure blob storage metrics and logging through the Azure portal by going into your storage account and then into Diagnostic settings (classic).
