Viewing Lifecycle Rules in VAST Web UI
In the left navigation menu, choose Element Store -> Lifecycle Rules to open the Lifecycle Rules page.
For each configured lifecycle rule, the following information can be displayed:
Tip
To display or hide fields, click
to the right of a column title, and then click
to open a dropdown where you can select or unselect fields.
ID | The ID of the lifecycle rule. |
Name | The name of the lifecycle rule. |
Prefix | In S3 terms, this is a prefix that may be common to multiple object keys (names). Specifying a prefix defines a scope of objects to which the rule applies. For example, if you specify sales/jan, all objects in the view that have object keys that begin with sales/jan will fall into the scope. In terms of file and directory nomenclature, a prefix is a file and/or directory path within the view that can include part of the file or directory name. It can be common to multiple items in order to catch them all within the scope. For example, if you want to specify all files under a directory called sales that resides under the view, you can enter sales/. This prefix will exclude the directory itself from the scope. If you were to enter sales that would include the directory as well as all the files under the directory. If you were to enter sales/j that would include all files under the directory with names that begin with 'j'. |
Min Size | The minimum size of objects to which the rule applies, if configured. |
Max Size | The maximum size of objects to which the rule applies, if configured. |
Expiration Days | A number of days after upload when objects in the scope are expired. |
View | The view to which the rule applies. |
Tenant | The tenant where the rule applies. |
Enabled | Indicates whether the rule is currently enabled or not. |
