Overview

The Job Retention Policy allows the user to configure deletion of old audit log entries from the database. Applicable job audit log's entries are deleted by the system job “Apply Job Retention Policies,” which runs every 4 hours.

Global Configurations

All settings can be set through the command line (--settingname=value) or through (SKYSYNC_settingname=value).

When using environment variables, replace the colon (:) with double underscore (__). So server:port could be set using an environment variable named SKYSYNC_server__port=value. The order of precedence before the database is online is command-line, then environment variables, then appSettings.json. However, once the license and database are online, the order of precedence changes to the license, then the database (Configuration table), then command-line, then environment variables, then appSettings.json.

1. License first

2. Then database

3. Then command-line

4. Then environment variables

5. Then appSettings.json
