Can I specific the name of the manifest file created by Egress for the room recording?

Thanks for reaching out, Bilal. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — good question. Regarding the manifest file created by Egress for room recordings: you cannot specify or customize its filename. The manifest is automatically generated when a backup upload is created (for example when a primary cloud upload fails), its name and retention (7 days) are controlled by the system, and the manifest's location is provided in the
manifestLocation
field of the
egress_ended
webhook event. If you need a specific filename or retention policy for backups, I can suggest alternatives or help design a workaround — for example: • Download the manifest from the
manifestLocation
when you receive the
egress_ended
webhook and rename/store it in your own storage with any filename and retention you want. • Add a short process that automatically moves/renames backup files after upload to your own bucket with your naming convention. Which of those approaches would you prefer, or can you share how you plan to consume the manifest so I can suggest the best workflow? Sources: Backup Egress Recordings
