How to delete old executions and jobs from rundeck

Question

I am having more than 30000 jobs and executions in my rundeck. Is there any API or CLI so that we can schedule to clean periodically. Because of too many jobs and executions rundeck throws java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC Overhead Limit and the services gets stops.

Also if there are more number. The UI takes long time to render the information.

Any documentations or scripts will be helpful.

Answer 1

Using RD CLI you have this good option. So, if you're using Rundeck 3.1 or above, you can go to Project Settings > Edit Configuration > Execution History Clean (tab) and click on "Enable" checkbox (then you can define the parameters in the same page).
