Email log retention

[JeffZwolle]

Hi Privex,

I have implemented this “WebUI for email logs”-solution and am happy with it. Thanks.

What is the retention time (in days) for log entries in the RethinkDB database?
Is it configurable somewhere?
Or is a separate daily cronjob needed? I have zero experience with RethinkDB. Maybe you know what command is needed to delete log entries older then 90 days?

I did not see an issues tab on your repository.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29692626/why-is-issues-tab-not-present-in-my-repos-github-page

That is why I now try to contact you here to ask my question about migration:

As you know, previously I had Privex postfix-parser installed.
Now I would like to switch to drlight17 mta-log-parser.
Do I need to start with an empty database or can mta-log-parser continue in the same database that postfix-parser was also using?

Hmm... Funny. Somehow the issues were swiched off in repo settings. Thanks. I returned them. =)

Yes, I think you can save your database as it's structure is generally the same. But to be safe do the backup before switch to mta-log-parser. Try and make an issue if there are troubles.
