Running jobs get deleted about hashview

[i128]

To confirm, when you're reproducing the error, on step 4, are you refreshing the homepage, or the jobs page?

First of all, thanks for the super quick reply!

Here's what I did:

1. refreshed the homepage → running jobs were gone
2. went to the jobs page → all jobs were gone

In my original message I said that the job I created but didn't start wasn't deleted. I just checked again and now it is gone as well.

What value do you have for your data retention. you can find this under settings, or in the database. select * from settings;

The data retention value is 0:

+----+------------------+
| id | retention_period |
+----+------------------+
|  1 |                0 |
+----+------------------+

Ah, i think thats the issue. The data retention thread, reads that value in the db. Checks the current date vs date of when the job was created and if the difference is greater than the retention period, will delete the job.

Set the data retention period value to something between 1 and 65535.

I thought i had put in an exception so that if the user set it to 0 it would disable retention, but i dont see that being the case.

That said im 99% sure thats the issue.

Thanks, we'll try that. Though we've always had retention to 0 and it's never been an issue 🤔

Setting the retention period to a higher value fixed it, thanks!
