9. How do retention policies work for different WCF service types?

Nodinite retention is per-Message-Type (not global days). Configure in [Message Type][] settings: Financial transactions (InvoiceProcessing, PaymentRequest, TaxCalculation) = 7 years retention (regulatory compliance), Order processing (PurchaseOrderSubmission, OrderConfirmation) = 3 years retention (audit trail), Debug traces (HeartbeatCheck, HealthMonitor) = 30 days retention (troubleshooting only). SQL Server automatically purges events older than Message Type retention policy (scheduled job nightly). Optimize storage: Financial transactions 7 years + Debug traces 30 days = 95% disk space savings vs. blanket 7-year retention for all events.
