The **Auxiliary logs** plan keeps data in the **interactive retention** state for **30 days**. In the Auxiliary plan, this state has very low retention costs as compared to the Analytics plan. However, the query capabilities are limited: queries are charged per gigabyte of data scanned and are limited to a single table, and performance is significantly lower.

The **Auxiliary logs** plan keeps data in the **interactive retention** state for **30 days**. In the Auxiliary plan, this state has very low retention costs as compared to the Analytics plan. However, the query capabilities are limited: queries are charged per gigabyte of data scanned and are limited to a single table, and performance is significantly lower. While this data remains in the interactive retention state, you can run [summary rules](../azure-monitor/logs/summary-rules.md) on this data to create tables of aggregate, summary data in the Analytics logs plan, so that you have the full query capabilities on this aggregate data.

When the interactive retention period ends, data goes into the **long-term retention** state, remaining in its original table. Long-term retention in the auxiliary logs plan is similar to long-term retention in the analytics logs plan, except that the only option to access the data is with a [**search job**](investigate-large-datasets.md). [Restore](restore.md) is not supported for the auxiliary logs plan.

### New Auxiliary logs retention plan (Preview)
26+
27+
The new **Auxiliary logs** retention plan for Log Analytics tables allows you to ingest large quantities of high-volume logs with supplemental value for security at a much lower cost. Auxiliary logs are available with interactive retention for 30 days, in which you can run simple, single-table queries on them, such as to summarize and aggregate the data. Following that 30-day period, auxiliary log data goes to long-term retention, which you can define for up to 12 years, at ultra-low cost. This plan also allows you to run search jobs on the data in long-term retention, extracting only the records you want to a new table that you can treat like a regular Log Analytics table, with full query capabilities.
