App Settings

App settings are configuration parameters specific to a particular App within a Convox rack. They provide a flexible way to customize the behavior and functionality of an app without affecting the overall rack configuration. This is especially useful for adapting apps to different environments like development, staging, and production.

appSettings:
  awsLogs:
    cwRetention: 31
    disableRetention: false

Currently, the appSettings section supports the awsLogs parameter.

AWS Logs

The awsLogs section allows you to configure the retention time and policy for the AWS CloudWatch log group associated with your app.

Attribute	Type	Default	Description
cwRetention	int	7	Specifies the retention period in days for CloudWatch logs.
disableRetention	boolean	false	Indicates whether to disable retention and retain logs indefinitely.

Important Notes:

The cwRetention parameter accepts values from the predefined list of CloudWatch retention policy options. If an invalid value is specified, it will automatically be adjusted to the nearest valid higher value.
Retention periods exceeding 10 years are not supported.
To completely disable retention and retain logs indefinitely, set the disableRetention parameter to true.
