Configuring the Expiry Timer

You can configure the Expiry Timer Value which determines the expiry of a subscriber entry, and the deletion of the expired entries from the Blocklist, Allowlist, Ratelimit, and Redirect lists.

To configure the Expiry Timer Value:
  1. Navigate to the required list for which the timer needs to be configured. For example, if you want to configure the timer for the Blocklist, go to: Settings > Blocklist > Configuration.
    You can configure the expiry time for each list separately. Subscribers of a list expire based on the Expiry Timer configuration of the list.
  2. In the Expiry Timer Value section, add the value in terms of hours. The default value is 48 hours. This means that a subscriber entry expires 48 hours after its addition to the list. You can specify any value between 48 -1440 hours.

    A warning or notification in the form of an email/SNMP trap is sent out at 03:23 everyday. This notification contains a list expired subscribers. If you have enabled admin > System Settings > Automatic Expiry Delete , then 24 hours after the expiry, all expired entries are deleted from the list. When set to True, the Automatic Expiry Delete, the administrator can delete the expired entries from the list. This action cannot be performed by a non-admin user. For more information on verifying the status the Automatic Expiry Delete setting, see Configuring Automatic Expiry Delete.

  3. Select the Never Expire option. This makes the expiry timer to be set to Never. Any subscriber newly added or edited will never expire. All existing entries will continue to have their expiry date as defined previously. The Expiry Timer Value field will be disabled. You will not be able to modify the expiry time. By default, the Never Expire option is disabled.

    Note:

    You can also set the Never Expire option from the Add/Edit Custom Blocklist, Allowlist, Ratelimit, or Redirect pop-up window.

    Selection of the Never Expire option from an Add/Edit window will be applicable for that particular user only. Any expiry value set from the Configuration page will be overwritten for this user.
