# Filecleaner Binary Configuration

The openit_filecleaner binary is automatically run based on core_filecleaner.oconf found in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\scheduler.

Run this binary using any of the following arguments:

--licpollcomplete-max-days [ARGUMENT] - This argument sets the maximum allowed age for licpollcomplete.gz files. [ARGUMENT] is the number of days before the file is removed.
--remove-expired-clients - Removes expired clients in the client_info.json file . Any client unresponsive for the amount of days specified in the CLIENT_INFO_MAX_DAYS directive in the openit.cfg file are considered expired.
--rotate-secured-file-log - Performs log file rotation on the secured_file_transfer.log file.
--remove-outdated-files [ARGUMENT] - Removes reports within the age threshold or date range specified by [ARGUMENT].

Age threshold for files follows the Open iT format (i.e. PT[number]H for hours or P[number]D|M|Y for date, month, or year), while the date range follows the following format: Year-Month-Day Year-Month-Day, where the dates are separated by a space (e.g 2019-01-01 2019-01-10).
--period [ARGUMENT] - Performs every action that is listed. [ARGUMENT] can either specify the age threshold for files to delete or a date range wherein any file within the range is deleted. [ARGUMENT] format is similar to the arguments for --remove-outdated-files.

The openit_filecleaner binary is automatically run based on core_filecleaner.oconf found in /var/opt/openit/etc/scheduler.

Run this binary using any of the following arguments:

--licpollcomplete-max-days [ARGUMENT] - This argument sets the maximum allowed age for licpollcomplete.gz files. [ARGUMENT] is the number of days before the file is removed.
--remove-expired-clients - Removes expired clients in the client_info.json file . Any client unresponsive for the amount of days specified in the CLIENT_INFO_MAX_DAYS directive in the openit.cfg file are considered expired.
--rotate-secured-file-log - Performs log file rotation on the secured_file_transfer.log file.
--remove-outdated-files [ARGUMENT] - Removes reports within the age threshold or date range specified by [ARGUMENT].

Age threshold for files follows the Open iT format (i.e. PT[number]H for hours or P[number]D|M|Y for date, month, or year), while the date range follows the following format: Year-Month-Day Year-Month-Day, where the dates are separated by a space (e.g 2019-01-01 2019-01-10).
--period [ARGUMENT] - Performs every action that is listed. [ARGUMENT] can either specify the age threshold for files to delete or a date range wherein any file within the range is deleted. [ARGUMENT] format is similar to the arguments for --remove-outdated-files.
