Zusammenfassung:Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for selective retention of data in a computational system. Aspects include receiving a monitored data element. Aspects also include assigning an initial storage ranking to the monitored data element to create a ranked data element. Aspects also include determining a threshold storage ranking. Aspects also include comparing the initial storage ranking to the threshold storage ranking. Aspects also include, based on the comparison indicating that the initial storage ranking is greater than the threshold storage ranking, storing the ranked data element in a long-term storage. Aspects also include based upon the comparison indicating that the initial storage ranking is less than the threshold storage ranking, discarding the ranked data element.
