How to revert backup for lookup editor limit?

[jadengoho]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to modify the lookup editor app,

But i'm having trouble on limiting previous version, i did it through CSS and HTML.

But the files are still located at the folder. How can i limit the revert version to 5 and delete the older versions.

You can also do something like this in order to delete "old" backups in the folder after some time. It's a quick fix that is working with the 3.6.0 version. You have to place piece of code at the end of the function "backup_lookup_file" (before the return dst) in the "lookup_backups.py" file 🙂

           # Remove backup files that are "old"

            list_of_files = os.listdir(backup_directory)
            current_time = time.time()
            for i in list_of_files:
                file_location = backup_directory + "/" + i
                file_time = os.stat(file_location).st_mtime

                if(file_time < current_time - 86400 * 5):
                    os.remove(file_location)
                    self.logger.info('Removing lookup file="%s" from backup folder="%s" because max time excedeed', i, backup_directory)

Hello,

Is this still working with 4.0.2 version of the app ?
I made the change, but unfortunately, nothing happens. How do you trigger the deletion? Restart Splunk? Unfortunately, I can no longer make any backups because I get an error saying that I have reached the size limit for backups.

Thanks for your help.

With the changes in v3.6.0 of the app in the past month, is this still valid?
