Retention setting

For the retention setting, you can specify the duration for which the incoming data needs to be retained. The default retention period is one day. Events are automatically removed when the retention period expires. If you set the retention period to one day (24 hours), the event becomes unavailable exactly 24 hours after it's accepted. You can't explicitly delete events. The maximum value for this setting is 90 days. To learn more about usage billing and reporting, see Monitor capacity consumption for event streams.

Event throughput setting

For the event throughput setting, you can select the throughput rate for incoming events for your eventstream. This feature allows you to scale your eventstream, ranging from 1 MB/sec to 100 MB/sec.
