Greg Logan commented on MH-8615:
--------------------------------

If you set the mindiskspace parameter to zero, and the maxarchivaldays to 
something large (a year?) it should not delete things, however there is no way 
to turn the job off completely.  Long-term storage of data on the CA is 
problematic both from a disk space angle as well as a data stability angle.  
Things get quite warm in most cabinets, so it's pretty easy to lose a disk to 
heat failure.  Also, without manual intervention the disk will fill up and the 
CA will be unable to capture.  A further, perhaps more annoying issue, is that 
a recording which has not been deleted has its state pushed to the core 
whenever a state update occurs.  This means that over the course of the term 
you will be sending state updates ('upload_finished') to the core for every 
capture which you have not deleted.  This will probably make your log file 
issue even worse to be honest, and I don't really see a usecase for filling up 
the CA's disk when the data has been ingested and is now on a (presumably
 ) safe disk array.

The state update interval is configurable, and I'm guessing you're running at 
debug if you see a log entry every time it sends a state update to the core.

All of these settings (aside from the logging level) are all available in the 
org.opencastproject.capture.impl.ConfigurationManager.properties configuration 
file.  The keys you are looking for are the following:

capture.agent.state.remote.polling.interval (this controls both the CA's state 
update as well as the recording state updates)
capture.agent.capabilities.remote.polling.interval (this controls how often the 
CA's capabilities are updated on the core)
                
> capture agent broadcasts the state every recording it has done every 10 
> seconds
