Conversation & Security Log Retention

Platform admins can set a system-wide default retention period. Once enabled, two things happen on the nightly schedule:

  • Conversations — general chatbot playground conversations older than the configured period are permanently deleted. Pinned conversations are never deleted.
  • Security logs — security audit logs for all users not already covered by an organization-level policy are deleted on the same schedule.

Override hierarchy

Retention follows a most-specific-wins rule — a narrower policy always takes precedence:

  • System (this page) — the default, applies to every user and conversation not covered by a narrower policy.
  • Organization — overrides the system default for all of an organization's general chatbot playground conversations and its members' security logs (see Organization → Config).
  • Assistant — overrides both for a single assistant's conversations only (see Logs → Conversation Retention).

Configure it in the Access tab, in the Conversation Retention section below Manage Connectors.

Platform Config

Configure platform settings to choose:

  • Which features and functionality are available in the application.
  • Platform settings such as admin email and paths.
  • Assign a color to each library category for easier visual identification.

Config: defaultRedirectPath

Overview

defaultRedirectPath is an optional configuration key that controls where the user is redirected immediately after login. The value is a plain string with no automatic validation, so ensure the path is correct in every environment.

How It Works

After a successful login, the application checks whether defaultRedirectPath is defined.

  • If present, the user is redirected to that path.
  • If not, the system falls back to the default post-login page, which is /chat.

Important Behavior

Because the value is not validated, the application redirects even if the path is:

  • misspelled
  • not registered in the router
  • not available in the current environment

This may result in navigation errors or blank pages.

Example of a typo to avoid
  • Incorrect: /chaat
  • Correct: /chat

Always verify that the path:

  • exists
  • is reachable
  • is spelled correctly
