miroir-ctl ttl

Purpose

Manage time-to-live (TTL) policies for automatic document expiration.

Preconditions

  • Index must exist with a timestamp field
  • TTL feature enabled in config

Examples

# Set a TTL policy on an index (documents expire after 30 days)
miroir-ctl ttl set --index logs --field created_at --duration 30d

# Set TTL with custom check interval
miroir-ctl ttl set --index logs --field created_at --duration 7d --check-interval 1h

# Get current TTL policy for an index
miroir-ctl ttl get --index logs

# Remove TTL policy
miroir-ctl ttl remove --index logs

Gotchas

  • Not yet implemented — see tracking bead for details
  • TTL is enforced via background tasks — expired documents are deleted on next pass
  • Duration format: 30d (days), 12h (hours), 15m (minutes)
  • TTL field must be a ISO 8601 timestamp or Unix epoch
  • Deleting expired documents is irreversible — backup first if needed
