Hi, Thanks for replying! This youtube video is just to create an automation to delete qvds, but I'm in search of an automation or any other alternative to delete the qvds older than the defined number of days. (older than 10 days to be exact)
Please see the attached. Just fill in the variable with the number of days back and it will delete any QVD that was created older than that many days ago. I will go on the record and say that this is not a great idea IMO as there are plenty of reasons you may have archival QVDs, or QVDs that are still being used but haven't been updated in a while. 10 days seems wildly tight 🙂
You might want to check out a number of OOTB automations such as "Alert app owners about apps without reloads in the past X days." These automation templates notify the users directly and look to have them clean things up at their own discretion.
Hey thanks for responding! Can you please guide me on how to use this? I mean what am i supposed to do with this json file? Sorry if this a dumb question.
Create a new blank automation. Right-click on the canvas and select "Upload workspace". Navigate to the JSON file and select it. That's it! Then just fill in the "DaysBack" variable. I would highly suggest testing first to make sure it is capturing the files you'd like. You can temporarily disable the "Delete Data File" block by right-clicking it as well.
