Set Log Purge Rules

Setting up rules:

  1. Click Edit to add Purging Rules.

Modify, add, or delete your log purging rules.

Make a rule that all your components with #Prod have their data purged after 60 days and click Save:

Iguana X supports glob expression (*), boolean(and/or), or regular expressions (regex) with Tags to create matching rules. To use regex, simply enclose the expression in slash characters /<regex>/. The table below provides an overview of example pattern matching techniques you can combine to create a matching rule.

Type

Example

Description

Wildcard

*

Apply to all components.

#dev*

Apply to components with #dev followed by 0 or more characters

OR

#prod #dev

Apply to components with either #prod OR #dev tags.

AND

"#prod #dev"

Apply to components with both #prod AND #dev tags.

Negation

-#prod

Apply to all components without the #prod tag.

"#prod -#dev"

Apply to all components with the #prod tag AND without #dev.

A convenient way to limit the amount of logs stored by all components is to define a purge rule with * and configuring it to purge after a set number of days.
