why old index snapshots are not deleted automatically in jira 9.4.9

Hi @Ravi Shankar Can you please check what is value for the Indexing snapshot retention period as per the steps mentioned in the document if that helps

How can we change the number of index snapshots retained

You can edit the number of backups to retain for the JIRA Index Snapshot Service by following these steps:

1. Navigate to System > Indexing (in the Advanced section) 
2. Make sure that Enable Index Recovery is ON.
3. Navigate to System > Services (also in the Advanced section) 
4. Locate the JIRA Index Snapshot Service and click Edit. 
5. The first field will be Number of backups to retain, edit this field and click Update.

Thanks

Hi ravina, 

Thanks for reply. Index snapshot count even if set to 1 or 2  it is creating 3. Can we change that default value.

Hi Ravi,

You can the default value, and check, if you have Stage instance verify there before making the change on production.
