Override Example
$sugar_config['activitystreamcleaner'] = array();

activitystreamcleaner.keep_all_relationships_activities

TypeBoolean
Range of valuestrue or false
Versions9.1.0+
ProductsProfessional, Enterprise, Ultimate, Serve, Sell
Default Valuefalse
Override Example

Override Example
$sugar_config['activity_streams'] = array();

activity_streams.erasure_job_delay

DescriptionDefines the number of minutes between Activity Stream Erasure jobs.

Additionally, a fatal warning message will be logged ("CSRF: attack vector detected, invalid form token detected"). When using this feature make sure any custom BWC module implement the proper CSRF token injection. CSRF token protection is an opt-in feature of Sugar 7.7 and removed in 7.8+.

If you are running in "soft failure", a second fatal message will be logged such as "CSRF: attack vector NOT mitigated, soft failure mode enabled". Be careful enabling this configuration as it will only log CSRF authentication failures and will not protect your system.

Under certain conditions, this may improve team security performance. It is important to note that 'default' applies this applied to all modules.
