it seems 90 is correct for the first one "First, if you are using storage for archiving, you generally want your data around for more than 365 days. Second, if you choose a retention policy that is greater than 0, the expiration date is attached to the logs at the time of storage. You can't change the date for those logs once stored." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/diagnostic-settings?tabs=CMD#create-in-azure-portal

@saexams this setting only allows for longer storage if you keep the retention policy at 0 >>For example, if you set the retention policy for WorkflowRuntime to 180 days and then 24 hours later set it to 365 days, the logs stored during those first 24 hours will be automatically deleted after 180 days, while all subsequent logs of that type will be automatically deleted after 365 days. Changing the retention policy later doesn't make the first 24 hours of logs stay around for 365 days.<< https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/diagnostic-settings So it is 90 days and 730 days (maximum Storage duration possible)

It's a trick question. The back up in the storage account blob will be stored indefinitely and for 90 days in the LAWS. However,, the question is asking what is the maximum amount time that that data can be stored. This does not even have anything to do with this particular question - unfair, I know. Answer is: - Indefinite for blob & - 730 for in the log analytics workspace.

Given Answers are correct. Indefinite : Archiving logs and metrics to an Azure storage account is useful for audit, static analysis, or backup. Compared to Azure Monitor Logs and a Log Analytics workspace, Azure storage is less expensive and logs can be kept there indefinitely. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/diagnostic-settings?tabs=portal#destinations 730 days : By default Application Insights and Log Analytics has a data retention of 90 days. You can opt to extend the retention up to 730 days. https://support.tygraph.com/support/solutions/articles/67000572648-changing-azure-log-analytics-retention

This question seems to be outdated. Tested in Azure Portal. When you select "Archive to a storage account" option, the following info is displayed: "Retention only applies to storage account. Retention policy ranges from 1 to 365 days. If you do not want to apply any retention policy and retain data forever, set retention (days) to 0."

For storage account, it is indefinite for sure as you can see from this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/essentials/diagnostic-settings?tabs=CMD. For log analytics workspace, it seems to be depending upon the pricing tier.

Have tried it... when we enable 'Archive to Storage Account' option then only the retention period section is shown... so the retention period is applicable only to Storage account so 90 & 730 are right answers.

If selected value is 90 then it will consider 90 days and if selected value is 0 then it will consider indefinite. so correct answer is 90 and 730 days

that's correct, 90 is the amount of retention time in LogAnalitycs, but the logs will be stored indefinitely, if you need to clean up the logs is necessary to apply life cycle management for Storage Accounts. Second question: is asking for the maximum amount of time that Log Analytics could store the log on it, so the maximum amount is 730 days. both answers are correct.
