Datadog Cloud SIEM cuts Cloud SIEM data retention from 15 to 12 months
What happened
Between the Jun 22, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of Datadog's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Cloud SIEM security data retention reduced from 15 months to 12 months; applies to analysis window, threat hunt/investigation scope, and indexed signal storage. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit lowered). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Cloud SIEM at $5 and Cloud SIEM On-Demand at $7.50.
It lands 68 days after Datadog's previous change, "Datadog Cloud Siem guarantees 50 free monthly Bits AI investigations minimum" (Apr 21, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Datadog Cloud Siem Doubles Detection Rules to 800+, Adds AI Analyst" (Mar 31, 2026). Datadog has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window New Relic, Grafana and Dynatrace also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
