A user must enable lifecycle policies at the cluster setting level. Use the management API when enabled:
curl -X PUT --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: text/plain' -d '{}'
'http://lucky1.tx.caringo.com:91/api/storage/clusters/_self/settings/policy.lifecycle?value=enabled' -u admin:ourpwdofchoicehere |
A missing |
A bucket contains one or multiple lifecycle policies, such as:
Expire all versioned content after one year.
Expire all current content after 5 years, etc.
Such policies are applied on a bucket object using one or multiple Policy-Lifecycle headers:
curl –X COPY –-post301 –-location-trusted –H 'Policy-Lifecycle: RuleId:"rule5" ExpirationDays:1825 ObsoleteExpirationDays:365' 'http://lucky1.tx.caringo.com/mybucket?domain=mydomain&preserve' |
In the previous example, apply implicitly to all content in the bucket by:
Naming the single policy
Not declaring it enabled (default enabled)
Relying on a missing prefix
The preserve query argument on the COPY operations indicates leaving other persisted headers unchanged.
Important
Re-transmit all Policy-Lifecycle headers to appear on the new object. It is advised to use the Content UI for editing policy rules.
Swarm supports expiration policies currently.
