Setting up rules:
Click EDIT at the top right of the page. Then make a rule that all your components with #prod Never have their data purged 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. |
Make another Purge Rule that channels with #device will be purged when they have 30 days of logs because they are chatty and click Save:
Make another Purge Rule for all your test components to be purged daily:
The first thing to do is label your test components with #test, to do this navigate to your Source and Destination component cards by double clicking them on the dashboard.
Edit the Tags field in the Component Card to add the #test rule (Make sure your Component is OFF).
Repeat the same 2 steps for the Source Component as well.
Go back to Purging in the Settings.
Add the rule for #test components to be purged daily and click Save:
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.
