This PR enables "History API" support:
Resolves: #1498
There is a new FeatureToggle in
ditto-devops.conf
with keyditto.devops.feature.historical-apis-enabled
in order to disable the historical API access.Also, in order to be useful, the "cleanup" of entities has to be configured to have a
history-retention-duration
of greater than 0.By default this is configured to
0d
which means that events and snapshots may be deleted at any time of the cleanup strategy of Ditto decides so.If for example "things" should keep a history of up to one week, the configuration inside
things.conf
can be adjusted tohistory-retention-duration = 7d
.The added documentation page
basic-history.md
describes the feature and its configuration in detail.
