How can I get log retention enabled in GCP Stack-driver. I haven't found any document for configuring log retention. I can see export option in logging section and log ingestion.

Previous answer:

Logging retention is 30 days and it is not configurable, you only pay for the storage

Stackdriver Logging allows you to retain the logs for 30 days, and gives you a one-click configuration tool to archive data for a longer period in Google Cloud Storage.

But you can create a sink for you logs and store them in Big Query or Google Cloud Storage (or both of them)
