In addition to each connector’s details, there are some additional options that can be configured in any source. These options can either be set in the config object of the source schema to set a default configuration for all the queries, or in each query itself using a special keyword.

Example

type: 'postgres'

details:
  # Connection details
  # ...

config:
  ttl: 3600 # 1 hour of lifetime

Specific query configuration

You can also set a specific configuration for each query by adding a custom tag in the query itself. For more information, go to Queries advanced configuration.

Available options

ttl
number

The number of seconds that the data will be cached in the Latitude cache. If the data is older than the TTL, Latitude will fetch the data again from the source. If not set, the default TTL is infinite, so the only way to refresh the data is by actually sending a fetch request with the force flag. More information.
