I would encourage you to use that repo and if there is something worth to be added updated, please do! All suggestions are welcome.

There are also some tools in the OSOps repository (Nova for example has https://github.com/openstack/osops-tools-generic/tree/master/nova)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_openstack_osops-2Dtools-2Dgeneric_tree_master_nova-29&d=CwMGaQ&c=DS6PUFBBr_KiLo7Sjt3ljp5jaW5k2i9ijVXllEdOozc&r=G0XRJfDQsuBvqa_wpWyDAUlSpeMV4W1qfWqBfctlWwQ&m=YTsxdMdPQDeVWL18ZtfPm4l8Ukb65tAIMhgQ9NI5wtQ&s=iqH-TOGPCLIqE7no9W6uOVjn0xGpf-aV9YPh_whjx8Q&e=>

Some projects (e.g. cinder) have tools..
`cinder-manage db-purge` or maybe it's "db purge" or something along those lines...
It was around Kilo when that got added.

Otherwise, in the past, I've done
mysql backup, then a massive table by table purge of "deleted=1" rows.

Hello,

While digging in nova's database, I found that many objects ar not really deleted, but instead just marked deleted.
In fact, it's a general behavior in other projects (cinder, glance...).

I understand that. It can be handy.

But, is there a way to handle regular purging of theses elements inside OpenStack configuration ?

Or do we, operators, have to create batchs to purge all that ?

I've found some blueprints indicating that there nothing for now, inside OpenStack :
