Tasks cleanup

Although, the history of tasks has an auditing value, some kinds of tasks can grow up in number quite soon. Therefore there is a mechanism how to clean the tasks, using a rake command. When running without any arguments, the tasks are deleted based on the default parameters defined in the code.

foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup
To see what tasks would be deleted, without actually deleting the records, you can run

foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup NOOP=true
By default, only the actions explicitly defined with expiration time in the code, will get cleaned. One can configure new actions, or override the default configuration inside the configuration config/settings.plugins.d/foreman_tasks.yaml, such as:

:foreman-tasks:
  :cleanup:
# the period after witch to delete all the tasks (by default all tasks are not being deleted after some period)
    :after: 365d
# per action settings to override the default defined in the actions (cleanup_after method)
    :actions:
      - :name: Actions::Foreman::Host::ImportFacts
        :after: 10d

The foreman_tasks:cleanup script also accepts additional parameters to specify the search criteria for the cleanup manually:

FILTER: scoped search filter (example: 'label = "Actions::Foreman::Host::ImportFacts"')
AFTER: delete tasks created after AFTER period. Expected format is a number followed by the time unit (s, h, m, y), such as 10d for 10 days (applicable only when the FILTER option is specified)
STATES: comma separated list of task states to touch with the cleanup, by default only stopped tasks are affected (applicable only when the FILTER option is specified)
NOOP: set to "true" if the task should not actually perform the deletion, only report the actions the script would perform
VERBOSE: set to "true" for more verbose output
BATCH_SIZE: the size of batches the tasks get processed in (1000 by default)
To see the current configuration (what actions get cleaned automatically and what is their after period), this script can be used:

foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup:config
