Trace archiving
Written by
Updated at August 19, 2026
When you open a trace in the Monium UI, it gets archived automatically. Archived traces are retained longer than traces in the main storage, which allows you to access them to analyze incidents, perform audits, and investigate issues.
How archiving works
Monium UI
- On the Monium home page, select Explore → Traces on the left.
- Select a trace. The system automatically archives that trace.
- The archived trace will have an extended retention period.
- You can access the archived trace at any time.
Archiving is performed automatically, no further actions are required.
Access to archived traces
Archived traces are available in the Monium UI:
Monium UI
- On the Monium home page, select Explore → Traces on the left.
- Search by
trace_id. - If the trace was previously viewed and archived, it will appear in the search results.
Archived traces are also available via a direct link.
