Is there a way to delete job history programatically

[Evelyn Dibben]

Alternatively is there a way to set how long job history is retained?

I swear I read something about this but I can't find the reference.  Thanks much.

Well I found the command:

TOKEN=mybiglongtoken

NODE=mynonde

URL="http://${NODE}:4440/api/12/executions/delete?ids=1471"  # You have to list the IDs

curl -H "X-RunDeck-Auth-Token:$TOKEN"  -X POST "$URL"

When I execute  curl I get this response:

<deleteExecutions requestCount='1' allsuccessful='false'>

  <successful count='0' />

  <failed count='1'>

    <execution id='1471' message='Unauthorized: Delete execution in project Rundeck' />

  </failed>

I've added this to /etc/rundeck/apitoken.aclpolicy

description: Allow API token to perform takeover schedule

context:

  application: 'rundeck'

for:

  resource:

    - equals:

        kind: job

      allow: [admin] # allow manage of schedule

    - equals:

        kind: project

      allow: [admin,delete_execution] # allow manage of schedule

by:

  group: api_token_group

Obviously something is still wrong with my ACL file but I'm not sure what.

Hi Evelyn,

you need to allow delete_execution for a specific project using “for: project:”

for:

  project:
    - match:
        name: '.*'
      allow: [delete_execution,read] # allow view and delete executions for all projects

The ACL policy stuff just confuses me, I need to spend more time on it :/

However, I did get this working,  the following snippet is from a bash script.  Pass in the PROJECT and RETENTION and the older jobs will be deleted.  I'm purging based on number of executions rather than by number of days - for my purpose this will suffice.

echo "Executing purge_job_history for project ${PROJECT} retention ${RETENTION}"

date

purged=0

URL="http://${NODE}:4440/api/2/project/${PROJECT}/jobs"

CURL_OUT=$(mktemp "/tmp/curl.out.XXXXX")

curl -H "X-RunDeck-Auth-Token:$TOKEN" -o $CURL_OUT -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST "$URL" >/dev/null  2>&1

for JOB in $(xmlstarlet sel -t -m "/result/jobs/job" -m "@id" -v . -n ${CURL_OUT})

do

  # For each job get the oldest executions

  URL="http://${NODE}:4440/api/1/job/${JOB}/executions?offset=${RETENTION}"

  curl -H "X-RunDeck-Auth-Token:$TOKEN" -o $CURL_OUT -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X GET "$URL" >/dev/null 2>&1

  for ID in $(xmlstarlet sel -t -m "/result/executions/execution" -m "@id" -v . -n ${CURL_OUT})

  do

    echo $ID

    URL="http://${NODE}:4440/api/12/executions/delete?ids=${ID}"

    curl -H "X-RunDeck-Auth-Token:$TOKEN" -o $CURL_OUT -X POST "$URL" >/dev/null 2>&1

    purged=$((purged+1))

  done

done

echo "Job executions purged:  $purged"
