The `recorder` component is storing details in the local database which then are handled by the [`history` component](/components/history/).
|
|
|
|
To setup the `recorder` component in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
recorder:
|
|
purge_days: 14
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **purge_days** (*Optional*): Delete events and states older than x days.
