Hi All, I have a couple of jobs, sourced from one project, that runs often and generates about 200K lines of logs every hours, and growing the postgres database about 100-200GB per month. I also want have the a clean up job that runs weekly but is set to keep the activity streams for 3 months due to business needs. Does anyone have advice on how to perhaps create a policy for certain jobs (based template ID or project ID) to have a different retention period than the rest? Poking through the code-base i see 1. ActivityStream model exposes timestamp as a string objective [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/awx/main/models/activity\_stream.py](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/awx/main/models/activity_stream.py) (90-99) 1. deletion happen here: [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/awx/main/management/commands/cleanup\_activitystream.py](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/awx/main/management/commands/cleanup_activitystream.py) if asobj.timestamp \>= self.cutoff: … pks\_to\_delete.add(asobj.pk) Can we modify the code to do something like this: if asobj.timestamp \>= self.cutoff: … pks\_to\_delete.add(asobj.pk) elsif asobj.timestamp \>= self.new\_cutoff and asobj.job == 13: … pks\_to\_delete.add(asobj.pk) Appreciate the guidance!
