This section outlines how to view the status of both past and ongoing smart archiving runs. It provides guidance on how to review specific details, including the items that have been archived, the associated timestamps, the status of each archive operation, customizing table columns, and applying filters to view the desired information.
To view the smart archiving policy runs, follow these steps:
As per the User persona, you can work with the contexts as described below:

The Retention Policies page appears.
Project Context
Note
Applies to both Platform Admin and Project Admin.
From the Projects drop-down list, choose the desired project.
From the Administrator module, click Artifactory, and then click Retention Policies.
The Retention Policies page appears.
In the Retention Policies page, click Archive.
From the Runs tab, under Runs, locate the Run Id you want to learn about it.
In this list, you can review a comprehensive history of executed archive policies, including the start time, number and physical size of archived items, and run status. The list is sorted chronologically, with the most recent run at the top. For more information on run statuses, see the table below.
To view a report on a specific policy run, locate the run, and then click Report icon.
A zip file will be downloaded containing one .csv files. If the report is for a dry run, it will show the items that would be archived in a real run. If it’s for an actual archive run, it will detail what was archived.
Note
Reports are created and stored in a dedicated repository called
jfrog-policy-reports-local. We recommend not deleting this repository to maintain a history of policy executions and their results. Deleting it will result in the loss of this history.If no packages are archived (for a real run) or archived (for a dry run), a report will not be generated.
The number of previous runs included in the history is defined by the artifactory.policy.cleanup.nodes_cleaned.expiration.days system property. To learn more, refer to Set Archive Policies System Properties.
