How many retention buckets can a tenant have in QRadar?

In IBM QRadar, each tenant can have up to 10 retention buckets. Retention buckets are used to categorize and manage the different types of data based on their retention policies. Each bucket can have specific configurations that dictate how long data will be retained, which is crucial for compliance, audits, and effective data management strategies. This limit allows tenants to effectively segment their data for varied retention requirements without overcomplicating the data management process.

The design of having 10 buckets strikes a balance, giving tenants enough flexibility to create distinct retention policies tailored to their needs, while keeping the system manageable and efficient.
