Changing Stats Collector Purge Frequency

The Stats Collector service holds file-level information in its database (in the fasp_files table), and purges that data 30 days (by default) after.

Customers making a large number of transfers may find their fasp_files table growing too fast. You can decrease the purge frequency by going to the opt/aspera/faspex/lib/daemons/np/etc/stats-collector.properties file and changing the value of the purgestats.age property. For example:
purgestats.age=7d
Important: IBM Aspera Validator reports file-level validation status in the fasp_files table. Lowering the purgestats.age value lowers the duration that Faspex has access to file-level validation status. For example, changing the value to 7d means that, after 7 days, Faspex no longer has access to file-level information and must use package-level information to determine whether packages and files are downloadable. If the package validation status is validation failed, the entire package and its individual files are not downloadable.
