Succeeded jobs deleted

[mark]

Hello,

I use hangfire as an Azure Website with a SQL Azure database. I works fine, my scheduled jobs are executed every night, but the history keeps getting removed. I have 2 jobs, but I can only see the last 2 executions in the dashboard.
So, next to the ‘Succeeded jobs’ it says 23, but when I click on it, I can only see the last 2. Is this by design or do I need to configure something to maintain the history?

Many thanks.

Greetings,
Mark

This is expected functionality, and only occurs for completed or deleted jobs, any pending or failed jobs are not removed. If you want more information, you can see the source code here:

or a conversation with the creator of hangfire on how to adjust the length of the expiration here:

How to configure the retention time of job?

First of all, retention, or expiration time is setting up only for successful and deleted jobs. Other job states, including the failed state, don’t have any expiration time. That is why your failed jobs will be kept infinitely before you fix/retry or delete them manually. But if you really want to set up retention time for succeeded or deleted jobs, you can add the following job filter (they are like action filters in ASP.NET MVC): public class ProlongExpirationTimeAttribute : JobFilterAttribu…
