Topic on Extension talk:AbuseFilter/Archive 2

I successfully use AbuseFilter to block spam. Over ca 10 years of usage, the filters have blocked more than 300.000 spam attempts, compared to ca. 15.000 legitimate edits. Unfortunately, AbuseFilter seems to keep details of ALL spam attempts, which significantly increases the database size. Is there a way to expire/delete old AbuseFilter entries after a certain time?

Something like a maintenance script that deletes the entries plus the referenced entries in the other tables?

I looked through the source code a bit, but didn't find a script like that.

AbuseFilter stores data in External storage when External storage is set up. It would be easy if the extension would allow to configure a specific database for AF, and it would be a matter of rolling a new store every few years and just drop the old one after a while. However, AF doesn't allow to specify the store :(

This is a nice suggestion, but it doesn't seem to exist a way to do that AFAIK.
