Filter for records in Batch Purger

[erikvlm]

I'd like to be able to filter our particular records for the batch purger. There are certain records that we don't want to ever delete. Is this a feature that is available today, and if not, is it wise to modify the LogBatchPurger class to just exclude some records from the query?

Hi @erikvlm - you can control that today by setting the value of Log__c.LogRetentionDate__c to null - the batch purger job ignores any records with a null. You could use the LoggerSettings__c object to control this via config, or add your own automation, etc. to further control the value of LogRetentionDate__c. Regardless of how you set/update the field value, as long as it ends up null, it'll be kept indefinitely.

Thanks @jongpie - how is Retention Date controlled through flows though. It seems like I can't control that fields in a flow context, only through apex
