30 Days of Analytics on Every Cloudflare Plan: Look Back a Whole Month!

Hi everyone, it's Shii-chan! Today's news makes Cloudflare Analytics a lot more useful!

What was announced?

In the Cloudflare Changelog, Cloudflare announced that every plan now gets at least 30 days of analytics data.

Free and Pro domains could only see between 24 hours and 8 days of history, depending on the dataset.

Sometimes you'd go looking at a problem that happened yesterday, and the data was already gone.

With a full month of history, you can:

The change applies in the Cloudflare dashboard, in Custom Dashboards, and through the GraphQL Analytics API.

Here are the details about retention.

Adaptive analytics datasets, such as HTTP requests, security events, and DNS analytics, retain at least 31 days of data for Free and Pro domains
You can query up to 30 days in a single request
Aggregated datasets, such as httpRequests1hGroups, keep their existing per-plan limits
The change doesn't alter which datasets or fields your plan can access

To check the exact retention and query window for a zone or account, query the settings for each dataset.

Domain analytics also now live in one place.

Select a domain in the dashboard and go to Analytics to see Traffic, Performance, Security, Cache, Origin, DNS, and Visitors as tabs
The tabs share one time range and one set of filters
Account-level analytics are under Observability > Analytics

Every plan gets at least 30 days of analytics data, up from 24 hours to 8 days for Free and Pro
You can query up to 30 days in one request
Domain analytics are consolidated into tabs with a shared time range and filters
Aggregated dataset limits and per-plan access stay the same

If you run a site on Free or Pro and want to look back at last week's trouble, this update is for you!
