The setting is called "rpki.validator.rpki.object.cleanup.grace.duration" and by default it is set to "P7D", i.e. a period of 7 days, which is pretty conservative. You can set it to much smaller periods, 1-2 day or 12 hours and still have reasonable behaviour.</div><div class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><font color="#333333" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" class="">There is another parameter “rpki.validator.validation.run.cleanup.grace.duration" with the similar meaning, but it's less crucial when it comes to storage space.</span></font></span></div></div><div class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><div class="">Also Validator version 3 is lighter than 2 in a sense that it consumes less memory, but it can only do it by storing more data on the disk.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I hope this helps.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kind regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Nathalie Trenaman</div><div class="">RIPE NCC</div></span></div></body></html>
