# oz0 retention

> Retention is set per tenant: after it, the retention job deletes the tenant's audit entries, job summaries, usage rows and payloads.

For: Operators and developers looking up a command.

Retention is set per tenant: after it, the retention job deletes the tenant's audit entries, job summaries, usage rows and payloads. An agent marked high-risk in the inventory keeps its entries at least 184 days (six months); younger entries of other agents lose their content instead. A legal hold stops retention and erasure for the tenant until it is lifted.

## Usage

```bash
oz0 retention [command]
```
