Purge Activities

Generic purge for users/files activities.

Based on the internal gRPC API of the activity service, this flow is useful for housekeeping and maintaining activity DB size under control. Run regularly, it allows you to prune activities (either files/folders activities displayed in the right-hand panel of the interface or users notifications) on a regular basis, based on various rules :

  • Updated : remove records registered before a given date. It can be combined with KeepAtLeast parameter to still make sure to keep a given number of rows, even if they were older than the purge dates (avoid empty feeds!).
  • KeepMax : remove records based on a maximum number of rows.

Parameters

Name Type Default Mandatory Description
PurgeOn select, possible values: Users (1), Files/Folders (0) 1 false Purge users or files/folders activities.

BoxName select, possible values: Inbox (inbox), Outbox (outbox) inbox false Either Inbox (notifications received) or Outbox (user activity / file activity).
KeepAtLeast integer 1 false Keep at least X records in the box.
KeepMax integer 100 false Maximum number of records to be kept.
Updated text {{now | date_modify "-720h" | unixEpoch}} false Limit to purge records registered before this date. Default value is 30 days ago (24*30 hours)
CompactDB boolean true false For Bolt implementation, compact database after purge
