[Spacewalk-list] new script monitoring-data-cleanup

[Miroslav Suchý]

Since Spacewalk 0.7 (or now in nightly) will be available new script, 
which is able to delete old monitoring data.

 From "man monitoring-data-cleanup":
        monitoring-data-cleanup - Delete unused and old data from 
monitoring probes.

SYNOPSIS
        monitoring-data-cleanup [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
        This script deletes data from monitoring probes older than given 
time frame.  It can be useful to run from
        cron to periodicaly delete data which is not interesting for you.

        Additionaly - in Spacewalk 0.5 and older we did not deletes data 
when probe has been deleted. And if you
        did not push scout configs you will be getting data for deleted 
probes too. This script will delete them
        too.

OPTIONS
        --dry-run
                No changes will be commited. All data will remain intact.

        --delete-unmatched --no-delete-unmatched
                Delete data from probes, which have been already 
deleted. Default is to delete them.

        --keep-monitoring-data DELTA
                Delete data older than DELTA. Recognized deltas are of 
the form:
                     +Yy +Mm +Ww +Dd +Hh +MNmn +Ss
                Examples:
                        "1year 2 months 3hours"
                        "2 business days"
                For more information about format see ParseDateDelta
