Property

Description

key

The ID that identifies the policy. This ID that was configured for the policy when it was created.

description

Description that was defined for the policy.

cronExp

The cron expression that determines when the policy is run. This parameter is not mandatory, however if left empty the policy will not run automatically and can only be triggered manually.

durationInMinutes

The maximum duration (in minutes) for policy execution, after which the policy will stop running even if not completed.

enabled

A true value means the policy can be executed. A false value means that it cannot.

skipTrashcan

A true value means that when this policy is executed, packages will be permanently deleted. false means that when the policy is executed packages will be deleted to the Trash Can.

searchCriteria

The criteria that define aspects of the policy such as package types (docker, maven), repository names in which the policy will be run, and other relevant criteria. For more details see the table below.

Search Criteria

Field

Type

Description

packageTypes

string

The package types that are cleaned up by the policy. For a list of the permitted package types, click here.Package Types Coverage

You must enter at least one package type.

repos

string

Specify one or more patterns for the repository name(s) on which you want the archive policy to run. You can also specify explicit repository names. Specifying at least one pattern or explicit name is mandatory. Only packages in repositories that match the pattern or explicit name will be deleted.

excludedRepos

string

Specify patterns for repository names or explicit repository names that you want to be excluded from the archive policy. This parameter is optional.

includedPackages

string

Specify a pattern for a package name or an explicit package name on which you want the archive policy to run. Only one pattern or explicit name can be entered. To include all packages, use "**". For example: "includedPackages": ["**"]

This parameter is mandatory.

excludedPackages

string

Specify explicit package names that you want excluded from the policy. Only explicit names (and not patterns) are accepted. This parameter is optional.

includeAllProjects

boolean

Set this value to true if you want the policy to run on all Artifactory projects. The default value is false. This parameter is optional.

Note

This parameter is relevant only on the global level, for Platform Admins.

includedProjects

string

Enter the project names on which you want the policy to run.

Note

This parameter is relevant only on the global level, for Platform Admins.

createdBeforeInDays

integer

The archive policy will archive packages based on how long ago they were created. For example, if this parameter is 2 then packages created more than 2 months ago will be archived as part of the policy.

Note

  • A policy must use one of the three settings: createdBeforeInDays, lastDownloadedBeforeInDays, or keepLastNVersions.

  • createdBeforeInDays, and lastDownloadedBeforeInDays can be used together, but they cannot be used with keepLastNVersions. Meaning, use either createdBeforeInDays and lastDownloadedBeforeInDays (or just one of them), or use keepLastNVersions.

lastDownloadedBeforeInDays

integer

The archive policy will delete packages based on how long ago they were downloaded. For example, if this parameter is 5 then packages downloaded more than 5 days ago will be archived as part of the policy.

Note

JFrog recommends using lastDownloadedBeforeInDays to ensure that packages currently in use are not deleted.

keepLastNVersions

integer

Set a value for the number of latest versions to keep. The archive policy will remove all versions before the number you select here. The latest version is always excluded.

Note

  • Versions are determined by creation date.

  • Not all package types support this condition. For information on which package types support this condition, click here.Smart Archiving Supported Packages
