Is this still the way to remove old positions, but adding:
<entry key='database.positionsHistoryDays'>1825</entry>
To the default.xml?
Mine has been in place over 24 hours, (including a restart) and I've looked for messages in the log. But I see docs that it's recommended to do it externally, is that still the case and I should ignore the configuration entry and use: https://www.traccar.org/clear-history/
Yes its better to use the cron job.
There's no such configuration option, unless you're on a really old Traccar.
No it wasn't there, and it was an old forum post.
