ILM Settings

This page covers settings that control Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) for the AIStor process.

You can establish or modify settings by defining:

an environment variable on the host system prior to starting or restarting the AIStor Server. Refer to your operating system’s documentation for how to define an environment variable.
a configuration setting using mc admin config set.

If you define both an environment variable and the similar configuration setting, AIStor uses the environment variable value.

Some settings have only an environment variable or a configuration setting, but not both.

Each configuration setting controls fundamental AIStor behavior and functionality. Test configuration changes in a lower environment, such as DEV or QA, before applying to production.

Expiration Workers

Environment Variable Configuration Setting

Set the number of workers to use for expiring objects. Valid values are 1 to 500.

The default value is 100.
