Storage

inbrx supports two storage modes.

Mode	Description
file	Stores captured messages in the standard user data directory for your operating system.
memory	Keeps captured messages in memory until the process exits.

File storage

File storage is the default:

npx @inbrx/cli --storage file

Use it when you want messages to remain available across process restarts.

Memory storage

Memory storage is useful for short-lived test runs:

npx @inbrx/cli --storage memory

Use it for disposable local sessions or automated tests where persistence is not needed.

Retention limit

Use --max-messages to control how many messages are retained:

npx @inbrx/cli --max-messages 500
