Why TTL for queue's events is Infinity. How to add TTL ?

[ruhankhandakar]

on the uploaded screenshot we can see the `TTL` of `PROSPEO_QUEUE` event is `Forever`. I think in this way soon all my redis memory will be used by the `finished` events. How to add `TTL` or `remove` it from redis.

Any reply will be appreciated, please.

TTL is a Redis key option. It is forever since that key will not expire.

If you want to reduce the number of events thats kept in that key you can change the default 10000 to any other value when you instantiate the queue: https://api.docs.bullmq.io/interfaces/v5.QueueOptions.html#streams

const myQueue = new Queue('myqueue', { streams: { events: { maxLen: 100 } } });

I am using NestJS, where to set the TTL limit ? so that the events get removed automatically from my Redis.

There is no TTL in BullMQ, please read my previous answer.
