30 -As we learned in the introductory [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Event Streaming.crashcourse-eventstreaming-event-streaming-introduction.WebHome||target="blank"]], the topic holds a log with a sequence of messages. Based on several criteria, the broker decides when to remove messages from the back of the log to ensure that the topic stays within specific parameters. These parameters are the retention hours and the retention bytes. If you want to learn more about them specifically, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Event Streaming.crashcourse-eventstreaming-topic-and-topic-properties.WebHome||target="blank"]].

32 32  These parameters combined with the cleanup policy determine what happens with a message after it is expired. There are two options available:
33 -* delete
34 -* compact
35 -
39 +delete
40 +compact
36 36  The delete option is the default that eMagiz uses and advises. This option will, as the name suggests, delete all messages that are expired. There is an alternative approach called compact. This functionality will enable log compaction on the topic.
37 37  
38 38  The three aspects combine to make up the retention policy. Defining the correct values for both the retention hours and the retention bytes is a science as a form of art. As you only have limited storage capacity available, the challenge becomes how much retention you reserve per topic. The more you assign, the less free storage capacity remains for other topics. As a consequence, you need to strive to optimize your retention policy per topic continually.
