Request body

daily_limitinteger

The number of log events you can send in this index per day before you are rate-limited.

daily_limit_warning_threshold_percentagenumber double

A percentage threshold of the daily quota at which a Datadog warning event is generated.

disable_daily_limitboolean

If true, sets the daily_limit value to null and the index is not limited on a daily basis (any specified daily_limit value in the request is ignored). If false or omitted, the index's current daily_limit is maintained.

num_flex_logs_retention_daysinteger

The total number of days logs are stored in Standard and Flex Tier before being deleted from the index. If Standard Tier is enabled on this index, logs are first retained in Standard Tier for the number of days specified through num_retention_days, and then stored in Flex Tier until the number of days specified in num_flex_logs_retention_days is reached. The available values depend on retention plans specified in your organization's contract/subscriptions.

Note: Changing this value affects all logs already in this index. It may also affect billing.

num_retention_daysinteger

The number of days logs are stored in Standard Tier before aging into the Flex Tier or being deleted from the index. The available values depend on retention plans specified in your organization's contract/subscriptions.

Note: Changing this value affects all logs already in this index. It may also affect billing.

tagsstring[]

A list of tags associated with the index. Tags must be in key:value format.
