Retention

How long snapshots, diffs, and logs are stored, plus ways to keep payload storage predictable.

Retention controls how long change history and diagnostic data stay available.

Snapshots and diffs

• Snapshots are kept for the period defined by your plan.
• Diffs keep hashes and clipped text so you can view change summaries even after payload pruning.
• Payload blobs in object storage follow the same retention window.

Audit and request logs

Audit logs are long-lived for accountability, while request metadata is pruned to keep storage bounded.

await prisma.snapshot.create({
  data: {
    monitorId: monitor.id,
    fetchedAt,
    contentHash: fetchResult.contentHash,
    diffText: clipDiffText(fetchResult.diffText),
  },
});

Reducing footprint

• Use ignore rules to avoid noisy diffs.
• Prefer HEAD/headers mode when you only care about status and etags.
• Delete inactive monitors; their snapshots age out automatically.
