The Activiti history level determines how much historical information
is retained when workflows are executed. You can configure the history
level by setting the history property in the
workflow.json file, for example:
"history" : "audit"
The following history levels can be configured:
-
none. No history archiving is done. This level results in the best performance for workflow execution, but no historical information is available. -
activity. Archives all process instances and activity instances. No details are archived. -
audit. This is the default level. All process instances, activity instances and submitted form properties are archived so that all user interaction through forms is traceable and can be audited. -
full. This is the highest level of history archiving and has the greatest performance impact. This history level stores all information as in the audit level as well as any process variable updates.
