Configure broken-destination cleanup
Choose how long qualifying broken destinations remain before automatic removal.
Overview
FoxLink checks destinations regularly. The organization’s cleanup grace period controls how long a persistent qualifying failure can remain before removal.
Review the policy
- Open FoxLink Settings
You can view settings with either FoxLink viewer role. Saving requires both Short Link and Link Tree edit permissions.
- Set the grace period
Choose 1–365 days. The default is seven days. Review currently failing destinations before reducing the period.
- Save and monitor
Save the setting and inspect destination health, last check, and failure start time.
Important consequences
The countdown resets when a destination becomes healthy. Removed links return 410 Gone and keep their identifiers permanently reserved. Blocked or unreachable checks should be read according to their reported state rather than assumed to be ordinary HTTP failures.
Availability and access
Availability depends on your organization access and assigned permissions.
