Edit Maximum Age¶
This page walks through updating the Maximum Age on a Freshness check directly from its chart in the Observability tab. For what the Maximum Age means, see How Freshness Checks Work.
Permissions
You need the Author team permission (or above) on the datastore to change the Maximum Age. See Observability Permissions for the full matrix.
Maximum Age is human-readable
Outside the editor, Maximum Age renders as a titleized duration (for example, 4 Hours or 6 Minutes) instead of raw milliseconds. Editing exposes a number input with the current unit shown as a fixed prefix. The unit cannot be changed in the editor. Qualytics picks it from the saved value.
Steps¶
Step 1: In the chart header, click Edit Maximum Age next to the Maximum Age chip.
Step 2: The Maximum Age field becomes editable, showing the current unit as a prefix (for example, Hours 4). Cancel and Save buttons appear below the chart.
Step 3: Enter the new value in the unit shown. Decimals are allowed: for example, 1.5 under Hours saves 90 minutes, and the field reopens as Minutes 90 the next time you edit it.
Step 4: Click Save at the bottom right of the chart area.
Step 5: A success message appears and the Maximum Age chip in the chart header re-renders with the new humanized value.
