log_patterns allow to filter the FFmpeg log messages based on regular
expressions. Each entry of log_patterns is interpreted as regular
expression and matched against every non-progress log line emitted from
FFmpeg. All matching lines are returned in the matches array of the
report.
The scheduler allows to define when a process should run. It can be either
a timestamp in RFC3339 format or a crontab expression. If a scheduler is
given, reconnect and the reconnect delay will only apply to processes that
exited as failed.
The timeout allows to define when a process should be gracefully stopped.
It is measured from the actual start of that process including all reconnects
due to failures. If the process finished regularly, the timeout will be
reset.
A minimal history is a history entry without log and prelude.
The corresponding config entry is ffmpeg.log.max_minimal_history. This value is
added on top of the ffmpeg.log.max_history value. I.e. the latest max_history
entries contain the log and prelude, and the remaining entries don't have the
log and prelude. In total there are max_minimal_history+max_history history
entries.
If you want no history, set both values to 0.
If you want only full history, set max_minimal_history to 0.
If you want only minimal history, set max_history to 0.
