what is the maximum message retention period for a given topic? I'm running a local setup and based on what I see, max retention seems to be 4 weeks. Is this something that can be adjusted to a larger retention period ?

Thanks !

The maximum is forever

You can disable retention by setting log.retention.ms=-1, however that might not be exposed in the UI
