2# Azure Monitor workspace: the regional metric repository behind Azure Monitor managed service for
3# Prometheus and a destination of data collection rules ("Azure Monitor workspace overview"). That page
4# states the only data hosted today is Prometheus metrics, that "data is retained for 18 months", that
5# it is "encrypted at rest using a Microsoft-managed key", and that "the default Azure Monitor workspace
6# limit is 1 million active times series and 1 million events per minute ingested". Retention is not
7# configurable, so there is no daily cap or retention setting as on a Log Analytics workspace.
