Feature Summary

For now, in the management job Cleanup Job Schedule, we can only define the number of days for all job-related entities, including ad-hoc commands, project-updates, inventory-updates, management-jobs, notifications, and workflow jobs.

It would be very useful to make it configurable to define a different number of days for different entities.

For example, we need the job history for 90 days. Still, we don't need the notification history since we use notifications only for sending our logs to DataDog and don't use them anymore.

It can be done by using the awx-manage cli by command: awx-manage cleanup_jobs --notifications --days 0

But we didn't find a way to do it from AWX UI by configuring the Management jobs, so we won't need to create an additional cronjob in K8s that will do it.

Sugested feature result

Only particular job-related entities are deleted; the number of days is configurable for each type of job.

currently the UI adds this payload to the system job launch endpoint {"extra_vars":{"days":30}} so we'd need to change the api to accept a new param like "resources" {"extra_vars":{"days": 30, "resources":["notifications", "jobs"]}} something like that. Then we would change this line to only pass those resources https://github.com/fosterseth/awx/blob/bb1c155bc91505f89d7074820424eac7d7072c4d/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py#L1880

@fosterseth what about that function? https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/1bb4240a6ba9b92043cb410585a95f3bf20d89bf/awx/main/management/commands/cleanup_jobs.py#L379

[fosterseth]

The awx-manage command already has the capabilities to delete specific resources, so we probably don't need changes in that file. The change needed here it so be able to specify these extra parameters in the API
