overlane observe retention purge

Delete telemetry older than the plan keeps

Updated View as MarkdownOpen in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Deletes logs, spans, metrics, run events and resolved incidents older than the plan’s retention period and prints how many of each. The task ledger, evidence, audit log, billing and decision records are never touched. The service also runs this on a schedule. Destructive: it needs –force without a terminal.

Usage

overlane observe retention purge [--dry-run] [--force]

Flags

Flag Type Required Default Description
--dry-run boolean no Print the requests and file changes this command would make, then stop. Needs no credentials.
--force boolean no Confirm a destructive action when there is no terminal to ask on. Without it, exit 2.

Examples

overlane observe retention purge --force
overlane observe retention purge --dry-run

Behavior

  • Effect: destructive (deletes or reverts; needs --force without a terminal).
  • Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
  • Supports --dry-run: yes. Accepts --force: yes.
  • Machine-readable description: overlane schema observe retention purge.

Result

With --json (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema’s shape on stdout.
