History Retention

In the "Data Storage" section, you can configure how long you'd like your run history to be stored for a particular project.

tip

Note that when running Lightning on OpenFn.org, a project's plan may limit how long we'll store your history. You can always store less, but paid plans get longer storage.

What is history?

History includes work orders, runs, logs, and any associated input/output dataclips.

Why would I want to reduce my history retention period for a project?

Some project administrators chose to store history for a shorter duration (a month or 90-days) to reduce data storage costs or to limit their data footprint.

What happens when old work orders, runs, logs, or dataclips get removed?

All history is removed from OpenFn and cannot be accessible on the platform. If you have previously requested work order history exports, you'll still be able to access exported CSVs via the history export page in project settings.
