It is critical for us the logs are retained for 365 days due to regulatory requirement.

Being able to configure the 30 day log retention period up to 6 months would be a great help to my organization. We recently had a request to review some logs in relation to an incident and were unable to pull these as a result.
Current workaround is for customer to create their own log retention procedure using Atlas API calls. This feels a bit of a missed opportunity especially with the added auditing in our contract.

Please note that the expectation is that customers requiring longer retention will archive logs to their own infrastructure, with object storage or an SIEM. Log pulling can be programmatically instrumented using the MongoDB Atlas API. Partners like Sumo Logic and jSonar have existing pull-based integrations.
