Using Sweep out configurations

You can employ the sweep out option for the entire audit data without any limitations or restrictions of TTL or minimum data count.

Sweep out option supports the following configurations to manage your audit data:

  • The default Sweep out configuration is atlas.audit.sweep.out.enabled=true. The default value is false (disabled).

    To delete entire audit data for specific entity types and audit action types can be configured with the following properties:
    • atlas.audit.sweep.out.entity.types=<List of entity types> With sweep out option enabled, by default it is applicable for all entity types. You can override the configuration with specific entity types.
    • atlas.audit.sweep.out.action.types=<List of audit action types> With sweep out option enabled, by default it is applicable for all audit action types. You can override the configuration with specific audit action types.
