Azure Storage Queues - Is there an App wide configuration for setting poison messages TTL

I'm using an Azure Webjob which is triggered by Storage Queues, using [QueueTrigger] attributes, and poison message handling is done by the integration package itself.

I'm trying to find a way to set the ExpirationTime for poison messages to something greater than the default 7 days.

Looking at the docs, these are all the configuration options available:

{
    "version": "2.0",
    "extensions": {
        "queues": {
            "maxPollingInterval": "00:00:02",
            "visibilityTimeout" : "00:00:30",
            "batchSize": 16,
            "maxDequeueCount": 5,
            "newBatchThreshold": 8,
            "messageEncoding": "base64"
        }
    }
}

The options to configure it by code, also doesn't seem to help: enter image description here

Question:

Is there a way to configure the queues so that poison messages have a custom ExpirationTime ?

Note: I am aware that you could switch to manual way of handling poison messages, and there will be a property on the queue message, however I'd prefer to not fallback to that approach.

No, There is no config available to control that. Few options depending on what works best

  1. increase the visibility time + dequeuecount to let the message stay longer before it even moves to the poison queue https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-storage-queue?tabs=in-process%2Cextensionv5%2Cextensionv3&pivots=programming-language-csharp#host-json

  2. Use a different trigger to read the messages from poison queue and add it to a different queue with a longer TTL as required. Expiration date of poison queue

  3. Register a custom queue processor that takes over the handling of poison messages and you are free to use different TTLs as required https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/440576/azure-queue-storage-set-ttl-for-the-poison-queue-j.html
