Managing disk space

To allow 24/7 live streaming, Origin Server implements a rolling disk space management scheme.

This can be configured in the origin.xml file. The <DiskManagementDuration> property in the origin.xml file specifies the duration of the content in hours. Fragments that fall within this duration are kept. If the fragment falls out of the duration, the bootstrap file is updated to remove it from the fragment run table. Then, the actual fragment is deleted from the disk.

  1. Open the stream.xml in the respective channel directory.
  2. Update the <DiskManagementDuration> element. The default value is 3 hours. To disable the property, set it to 0.
