Hi,

Good day!

Does anyone is familiar with autopurge.snapRetainCount and autopurge.purgeInterval? I’m wondering if I should add it in my 3 node cluster configuration.

hi @hasmine.roldan

I would recommend to add it to your configuration.  
default parameter for `autopurge.snapRetainCount`should be 3 which keeps the 3 current zookeeper snapshots.

`autopurge.purgeInterval` enables autopurging if set to an value equal or higher than 1.

best,  
michael
