From 2e0e8d09da93ed4a9f4cfa580b3975feaea51856 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: DubhAd Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 09:30:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add information on the purge_days (#3358) * Add information on the purge_days That the purge happens every other day is only documented in the code, and in issue #6302. This is to raise the visibility of this, and help people understand that if they restart frequently the purge will never happen. * Spelling & Grammar fixes --- source/_components/recorder.markdown | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/source/_components/recorder.markdown b/source/_components/recorder.markdown index 7c8c16d2bd5..ddf835cff50 100644 --- a/source/_components/recorder.markdown +++ b/source/_components/recorder.markdown @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ recorder: Configuration variables: -- **purge_days** (*Optional*): Delete events and states older than x days. +- **purge_days** (*Optional*): Delete events and states older than x days.
