Report expiring after 7 days instead of 180 days specified in cronjob

Support

Hi,

I have the following crontab installed to expire uninteresting reports and
keep the interesting reports

0 1 * * * /usr/sbin/foreman-rake reports:expire days=180
0 2 * * * /usr/sbin/foreman-rake reports:expire days=1 status=0

But still everything gets thrown away after 7 days. Also when I check the
foreman database in the reports table. Nothing is there that's older than 7
days.

Anybody any idea what is causing the reports the be thrown away after 7
days?

Check for other cronjobs which may be expiring the reports.

A few major releases ago we moved from putting the expiries in the root
user's crontab (crontab -e) to /etc/cron.d/foreman, so it's possible
there are two cronjobs set up. Perhaps also check the Foreman user's
crontab (crontab -u foreman -e).
