History time to live

Camunda 7 only

Each execution of a model resource (BPMN, DMN, and CMMN) generates historic data during execution that is stored in the database. In Camunda 7, history cleanup removes this historic data from the database based on a defined history time to live (HTTL).

From Camunda 7.20 onwards, you must configure HTTL in one of the following ways:

  • Define HTTL per model directly in Desktop Modeler.
  • Set a default HTTL via an engine configuration.
  • Switch off the HTTL check via an engine configuration if history cleanup is not used.
