Prerequisite: The Data Store Settings must be configured from the Admin module to access the Instance functionality for the Data Store inside a Report.

A confirmation message appears to update the Data Store details.
The concerned Data Store starts displaying the Days Left option based on the provided no. of days while setting the TTL.

The permitted Time to Live limit for a Data Store is only 30 days (maximum). If it goes above that, data will not be present in the Report.
Hence, the user can manually update the instance. The Days Left column will highlight such conditions as flashing Expire status in the red color. Click the user to get redirected to update the instance for the selected Data Store so the data will be refreshed again in the ES or MongoDB.
