What will be archived?
A Workflow is running as several instances on the workflow runtime.
These runtime versions of a workflow produce logs for monitoring and performance purposes.
These logs will be archived from the runtime database to a filesystem formatted as JSON.

Check if the Simplifier Workflow Runtime Container has a volume path
workflow-runtime:
image: simplifierag/workflow-runtime:${SIMPLIFIER_VERSION}
container_name: workflow-runtime
restart: always
volumes:
- ${HOST_DATA_PATH}/workflowRuntime:/home/workflow-runtime/data
Alternatively, you can configure the Workflow Archive by using native configuration
archive {
enabled: true
age: "10 months"
interval: "1 weeks"
time: "18:22"
}
Workflow Archive Structure
Each Workflow Model gets a separate sub-folder in the main archive folder.
This folder includes files with the date of execution – each file contains 1000 workflow logs maximum and more entries will be split into several files.
/var/lib/simplifier/workflowRuntime/archive /var/lib/simplifier/workflowRuntime/archive/mymodel1 /var/lib/simplifier/workflowRuntime/archive/mymodel1/2023-06-05-1.json /var/lib/simplifier/workflowRuntime/archive/mymodel1/2023-06-05-2.json
