Purging

 As messages are written, and the number of files (or the file size) increases, Connexion can be configured to automatically purge individual files or even the entire directory.

By default, file purging is disabled. To enable file purging, the following conditions must be met:

• The action must be Copy File (you cannot purge via FTP)
• The first part of the destination directory cannot contain any user variables
• The file must have a valid file extension, such as *.txt (no user variables are allowed in the extension for purging purposes)

Once those conditions are met, you can enable file purging on the device. Choose your purge condition:

• Remove files that are older than: purge files based on their age in days
• Remove the oldest log file when: purge files when the oldest log file exceeds the specified number of MB.

Set the interval (in hours) over which the device should purge the directory (e.g., purge every 24 hours). You can also choose to purge the entire directory (if it is empty) by checking the Remove Directory If Empty option.

When purging is set up correctly, the device will display the conditions under which files will be deleted.
