Bucket Settings

Each bucket in Sairo has a settings panel with eight tabs. Open it by clicking the gear icon next to any bucket name in the sidebar.

The Overview tab shows the bucket’s current state at a glance:

  • Versioning — Toggle versioning between Enabled and Suspended. See Version Management for details.
  • Object Lock — Displays whether Object Lock is enabled on the bucket. Object Lock is configured at bucket creation time on the S3 backend and cannot be changed through Sairo.

The Lifecycle tab provides a rule builder for managing automatic object expiration and cleanup. You can create rules for:

  • Current version expiration — Delete objects after a specified number of days.
  • Noncurrent version cleanup — Remove old versions after a retention period, useful for controlling storage costs on versioned buckets.
  • Incomplete multipart upload cleanup — Abort multipart uploads that have been in progress for longer than a specified duration.

Each rule can be scoped to a prefix filter and has an enable/disable toggle so you can pause rules without deleting them.

The Policy tab provides a JSON editor for the bucket’s access policy. Paste or edit the policy document directly, and Sairo validates the JSON structure before saving. Syntax errors are highlighted inline.

This is the standard S3 bucket policy format. Refer to your storage provider’s documentation for supported policy actions and conditions.

The ACL tab manages the bucket’s Access Control List:

  • Canned ACL selector — Choose from standard canned ACLs (private, public-read, public-read-write, authenticated-read).
  • Owner info — Displays the bucket owner’s canonical user ID and display name.
  • Grants table — Lists all current grants with grantee, permission type, and source.

The Tags tab provides a key-value editor for bucket tags. Add, edit, or remove tags as needed. Tags are commonly used for cost allocation, organization, and automation triggers.

The CORS tab includes a JSON editor for the bucket’s Cross-Origin Resource Sharing rules. Each rule specifies allowed origins, methods, headers, and max age. Sairo validates the JSON structure before applying changes.

The Multipart tab shows all incomplete multipart uploads in the bucket with intelligent stale/active classification.

Data is loaded lazily — only when you click the Multipart tab, not when the settings page opens. This keeps the settings page fast even for buckets with many incomplete uploads.

Each upload is shown as a card with:

FieldDescription
FilenameThe object key, with folder path shown below
SizeTotal size of uploaded parts
PartsNumber of parts uploaded so far
AgeHow long ago the upload started
StatusStale (older than 24h, red) or Active (green)

Uploads older than 24 hours are classified as stale — these are likely failed or abandoned uploads wasting storage. Recent uploads (under 24 hours) are classified as active and may be in-progress pipeline writes.

  • Abort buttons only appear on stale uploads — you cannot accidentally abort an active upload from the UI
  • Single abort safety — the backend rejects aborting uploads less than 1 hour old unless explicitly forced
  • “Abort All Stale” button — bulk-aborts all stale uploads in one click, with a confirmation dialog showing the count and size. Active uploads are never touched.

The listing handles buckets with 1,000+ incomplete uploads by paginating through the S3 ListMultipartUploads API automatically.

The Index tab shows the state of Sairo’s local index for this bucket:

FieldDescription
Crawl statusWhether a crawl is currently running or idle
Last indexedTimestamp of the most recent completed crawl
Object countNumber of objects in the local index
Total sizeAggregate size of all indexed objects

Click Re-index Bucket to trigger an immediate crawl, which is useful after bulk uploads or deletes when you do not want to wait for the next automatic recrawl cycle.
