File Cleanup


Cleanup Cron Job

When using Cloud Storage, the recorded files are also stored locally on the server. It is recommended that you use a cron job to periodically clean up the local files. For example, this cron job would delete recordings that are over 2 days old:

0 2 * * * /usr/bin/find /tmp/live/streams/ -type f -mtime +2 -exec rm -rf {} \;
0 2 * * * /usr/bin/find /usr/local/red5pro/webapps/live/streams/ -type f -mtime +2 -exec rm -rf {} \;

Auto-Delete Recordings

# Automatically delete recordings upon upload success (true|false)
delete.recordings=false

When set to true the recordings are automatically deleted from disk upon a successful upload with no delay. In the case of a failure, the recordings are preserved on disk. If the property is not configured or is set to any other value, the recordings are preserved on disk.

NOTE: If you are using append functionality, then you must set the above to false, and should use the above cron job.
