FAQPage Schema

How do I archive logs to cloud storage with retention policies?▼

Archive logs by applying path-based retention policies from your project's .fractary/plugins/logs/config.json. The Skill compresses files based on thresholds, uploads them to cloud via fractary-file, maintains an archive index, and verifies uploads before deleting local copies.

Can I compress logs before uploading them to cloud storage?▼

Yes, log-archiver compresses large files based on configurable thresholds before upload, reducing storage costs and transfer time while preserving the ability to retrieve archived logs from the archive index.

What log types does the archiver support across workflows?▼

Log-archiver handles session, test, and audit log types across workflows triggered by events like issue_closed, pr_merged, or manual invocation, applying retention rules specific to each log type.

How does path-based retention prevent forgotten logs from accumulating?▼

Path-based retention policies match log paths to patterns and automatically trigger archival based on scope and conditions defined in your config. An archive index tracks all archived logs, preventing logs from being overlooked during cleanup.

Does log-archiver verify uploads before deleting local files?▼

Yes, log-archiver verifies successful uploads to cloud before deleting local copies, ensuring no data loss. It maintains the archive index and posts updates to GitHub to track archived content.
