Is it possible to change the retention settings for /aws/containerinsights/cluster-X/performance log groups

version: v2.1.1-eksbuild.1
add-on for eks: amazon-cloudwatch-observability

Is it possible to change the retention setting for performance logs using the add-on's configuration values?

I was able to change the retention for application, dataplane, and host logs using log_retention_days,
for example - application logs:

containerLogs:
  fluentBit:
    config:
      extraFiles:
        application-log.conf:
          [OUTPUT]
            Name cloudwatch_logs
            Match   application.*
            region $${AWS_REGION}
            log_group_name /aws/containerinsights/$${CLUSTER_NAME}/application
            log_stream_prefix $${HOST_NAME}-
            auto_create_group true
            log_retention_days 90
            extra_user_agent container-insights

Also looking for an easier way.
Because you need to copy the whole application-log.conf, not only the OUTPUT section.

any news on that, i'm looking for a way to define the log_retention without providing the full conf file

Hello,
Any news about this? We would like to have the possibility to change the log_days_retention using the JSON settings that you can pass when installing the EKS addon CloudWatch Observability

At the moment we need to boostrap the log group using Terraform to have the proper logs retention set.
The performance log group is the only one that we cannot really automate and this is frustrating...

This is a rather useful documentation for any future readers: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/install-CloudWatch-Observability-EKS-addon.html#CloudWatch-Observability-EKS-addon-CustomFluentBit
