+### LOG-5 - Configure minimal logging and retention of logs
+
+**Category: Monitoring**
+
+**Impact: Low**
+
+**Guidance**
+
+ Azure Monitor Logs automatically retains log data for a specific period of time depending on the data type (for example, 31 days for platform logs and metrics). However, you may need to retain your data for longer periods for compliance or business reasons. You can configure the data retention settings based on your requirements.
+
+ For long-term storage, it might be necessary to move logs from Azure Monitor to a more cost-effective storage solution, such as Azure Blob Storage. This allows you to keep logs for an extended period of time without incurring high costs.
