Decide how long to retain log, event and snapshot data.
Purge periods are configured, at application scope, in the ${MV_HOME}/bin/rapiddeploy.properties file. The purge process will run a few minutes after RapidDeploy is started, and then once every 24 hours from then on. Default purge periods for event and deployment data are set to 3 years. Please see the section below, which sets the default values in the
${MV_HOME}/web-apps/tomcat/webapps/MidVision/WEB-INF/classes/rapiddeploy_default.properties file.
#--------------------------------- # Purge periods # # Purge periods for deleting # items older than a specified number # of days. # NOTE: If not set, the default will be # the purge period in the rapiddeploy_default.properties file, # #--------------------------------- event.records.purge.period=1095 deployment.requests.purge.period=1095 snapshot.purge.period=90
To override these default values, add the above stanza to your ${MV_HOME}/bin/rapiddeploy.properties file and amend the values to your site requirements.
- event.records.purge.period : Period (days) to store historic event records such as user or project creation records.
- deployment.requests.purge.period : Period (days) to store historic deployment job records.
- snapshot.purge.period : Period (days) to store environment snapshots.
The output in the rapididdeploy web application log file begins and ends as follows:
