# Configure long-term storage for Azure Activity Logs
13+
14+
This article discusses how to configure long-term storage for Azure Activity Logs. By default, Activity Logs are retained for 90 days. Users might have to store logs for a longer time for compliance or extended analysis.
15+
16+
## Configure long-term storage
17+
18+
### Step 1: Create a diagnostic setting
19+
20+
1. Go to [Azure portal](https://ms.portal.azure.com/auth/login/) > **Monitor**.
21+
22+
2. Under **Settings**, select **Diagnostic settings**.
23+
24+
3. Select **Add diagnostic setting**.
25+
26+
4. In **Activity Log**, select the log that you want to configure.
27+
28+
### Step 2: Specify the destination
29+
30+
1. Got to **Log Analytic** > **Event Hubs** > **Azure Storage**, and then select the destinations for your logs.
31+
32+
2. Set the destination resource to retain logs for more than 90 days.
33+
34+
### Step 3: Configure the retention settings
35+
36+
1. If you use Azure Storage, navigate to **Storage Account**.
37+
38+
2. Under **Data Management**, select **Lifecycle Management**.
39+
40+
3. Set the retention period to your desired duration.
41+
42+
### Step 4: Verify the configuration
43+
44+
1. Return to **Diagnostic settings**, and make sure that your settings are saved.
45+
46+
2. Check the destination resource to verify that logs are stored as expected.
47+
48+
## Frequently asked questions
49+
50+
**Q1: Why don't the logs appear in the destination?**
51+
52+
**A1:** Make sure that the diagnostic setting is correctly configured and the destination resource is active.
53+
54+
**Q2: Why is the retention period not applied?**
55+
56+
**A2:** Verify that the retention settings in the destination resource are set correctly.
