Integrate LMlog partitions in alert view
Summary: alangendijk discusses the challenge of managing and storing logs for a year, which can become costly when dealing with multiple servers. They propose creating multiple partitions by setting a custom identifier on the resource to save costs, specifying a minimum retention of one week per partition. However, they note that the current system design doesn't integrate these custom partitions into the alert view, making the feature feel incomplete. alangendijk suggests improvements like enabling partition selection in the alert view or automatically detecting the partition to enhance usability.
Our default partition contains logs for a year. If you have a lot of servers and ingest warning and error of system logs than you run into high costs.
Now you can create multiple partitions by setting the customer.identifier property on the resource and then use that identifier to create a partition with retention for minimum 1 week.
You can imagine the cost saver.
But this does not integrate with the alert view. Logs that are stored not in de default partition but the custom partition are by design not integrated (answer from support).
This sounds like a unfinished product feature to me.
I am happy with the retention that was added but now have it integrate or let me select the partition in the alert view. Better would be auto detect the partition.
