Overview

The Job Retention Policy allows the user to configure the deletion of old audit log entries from the database. The system job “Apply Job Retention Policies,” which runs every four hours, deletes the entries in the applicable job audit log.

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 a double underscore (__). For example, server:port could be set using an environment variable named SKYSYNC_server__port=value. 

The order of precedence before the database is online is 

1. Command-line
2. Environment variables
3. appSettings.json. 

However, once the license and database are online, the order of precedence changes to: 

1. License
2. Database (Configuration table)
3. Command line
4. Environment variables
5. appSettings.json.
