Re: [ovirt-users] Large DWH Database, how to empty

No. But the delete process might have kicked in. How long does you environment exist? Best regards, Shirly Radco BI Software Engineer Red Hat Israel Ltd. 34 Jerusalem Road Building A, 4th floor Ra'anana, Israel 4350109 On Sun, Jan 8, 2017 at 2:42 PM, Matt . <yamakasi.014@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
OK thanks! I saw that after upgrading to 4.0.5 from 4.0.4 the DB already dropped with around 500MB directly and is now at 2GB smaller.
Does this sounds familiar to you with other settings in 4.0.5 ?
Thanks,

No. That will corrupt your database.
Are you using the full dwh or the smaller version for the dashboards?
Please set the delete thresholds to save less data and the data older

the time you set will be deleted. Add a file to /ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf.d/ update_time_to_keep_records.conf
Add these lines with the new configurations. The numbers represent the hours to keep the data.
DWH_TABLES_KEEP_SAMPLES=24 DWH_TABLES_KEEP_HOURLY=1440 DWH_TABLES_KEEP_DAILY=43800

Hi, We don't update the ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf directly. You need to add the new file to /ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf.d/ with the lines DWH_TABLES_KEEP_SAMPLES= DWH_TABLES_KEEP_HOURLY= DWH_TABLES_KEEP_DAILY=0 and set the values for how much time you want the data to be kept. Keep in mind that the dashboards use the information from the samples and hourly tables for the last 24 hours. This file will overwrite the default configurations after you restart ovirt-engine-dwhd.
