How to curate results on pbench-server ? #478

Open Deepthidharwar opened 7 years ago

Deepthidharwar commented 7 years ago

Once we move the results, using pbench-move-results, it's housed in the server. Is there any way to delete certain results from the server ? Currently, I have had so many runs and I want to clean up unwanted logs on the system.

There is no way to delete results from the server currently. However, assuming you are looking at your results through the http://<server>/results hierarchy, you can reorganize your results by using pbench-edit-prefix (or by using --prefix=foo as an option to pbench-move-results if you are prescient enough to know where they should go in the first place). That should resolve the visual clutter at least.

Sure, that would help me make sort and make it more readable. In the long run, I have had so many results on the server and eventual it would end up in a clutter. Would it be good to provide 'delete' option ? Is it on the cards ?

Not really. If you want to clean up, just do pbench-edit-prefix --prefix=to-delete <result> for each result you want to get rid of. We'll probably only start deleting results if we are under a disk space crunch. We have talked however of marking some results "to-keep" and then aging out results that are not so marked. That might still happen at some point.

Sure! Sounds good.

Thank you so much.

Let's consider adding this to the documentation.

FYI, we are planning on deprecated the pbench-edit-prefix interface, see #1355; future work should focus these enhancements in the pbench dashboard.

With latest server, we can curate the results.

  1. users will have data ownership and can manage results on their own.
