Hello oVirt guru out there:

I notice our oVirt engine postgres db size is growing quite fast for past c=
ouple of months.  I checked the database size.  Found that our ovirt_engine=
_history is 73GB in size.

engine=3D# \connect ovirt_engine_history
You are now connected to database "ovirt_engine_history" as user "postgres"=
.
ovirt_engine_history=3D# SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_database_size( current_d=
atabase() ) ) As human_size
   , pg_database_size( current_database() ) As raw_size;
human_size |  raw_size
------------+-------------
73 GB      | 78444213368
(1 row)

Brief check the records, there are entries dated back 2014.

I want to see if there is a safe way to archive and remove some of the olde=
r records?

Thanks,
Eric
