# Multi Retention Setup within VictoriaMetrics Cluster
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Objective**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Setup Victoria Metrics TSDB with support of multiple retention periods within one installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Challenge**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VictoriaMetrics instance (single node or vmstorage node) supports only one retention period.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Solution**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A multi-retention setup can be implemented by dividing a [victoriametrics cluster](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html) into logical groups with different retentions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example:
|
||
|
|
Setup should handle 3 different retention groups 3months, 1year and 3 years.
|
||
|
|
Solution contains 3 groups of vmstorages + vminserst and one group of vmselects. Routing is done by [vmagent](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html) and [relabeling configuration](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

**Implementation Details**
|
||
|
|
1. Groups of vminserts A know about only vmstorages A and this is explicitly specified in [-storageNode configuration](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/Cluster-VictoriaMetrics.html#cluster-setup).
|
||
|
|
2. Groups of vminserts B know about only vmstorages B and this is explicitly specified in `-storageNode` configuration.
|
||
|
|
3. Groups of vminserts C know about only vmstorages A and this is explicitly specified in `-storageNode` configuration.
|
||
|
|
4. Vmselect reads data from all vmstorage nodes.
|
||
|
|
5. Vmagent routes incoming metrics to the given set of `vminsert` nodes using relabeling rules specified at `-remoteWrite.urlRelabelConfig`. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent.html#relabeling).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Multi-Tenant Setup**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every group of vmstorages can handle one tenant or multiple one. Different groups can have overlapping tenants. As vmselect reads from all vmstorage nodes, the data is aggregated on its level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Additional Enhancements**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can set up [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth.html) for routing data to the given vminsert group depending on the needed retention.
