Data retention

wis2box is configured to set data retention according to your requirements. Data retention is managed via the WIS2BOX_STORAGE_DATA_RETENTION_DAYS environment variable as part of configuring wis2box.

Cleaning

Cleaning applies to storage defined by WIS2BOX_STORAGE_PUBLIC and involves the deletion of files after set amount of time.

Cleaning is performed by default daily at 0Z by the system, and can also be run interactively with:

# delete data older than WIS2BOX_STORAGE_DATA_RETENTION_DAYS by default
wis2box data clean


# delete data older than --days (force override)
wis2box data clean --days=30

Archiving

Archiving applies to storage defined by WIS2BOX_STORAGE_INCOMING and involves moving files to the storage defined by WIS2BOX_STORAGE_ARCHIVE.

Archive is performed on incoming data by default daily at 1Z by the system, and can also be run interactively with:

wis2box data archive

Only files with a timestamp older than one hour are considered for archiving.
