Hi all! Is there a way of wiping (runs, logs..) history regularly? I wouldn't like to keep data older than 7 days

Are you on Prefect Cloud? if so, on which plan?

in that case, you would need to build some script that would regularly purge this data from the database. If you were on Cloud, this would be configurable.

that's fine, but is there a way of doing this through Prefect API? would you have a snippet on that?

I quickly browsed through the API and I believe there is no mutation for it I’m aware of. So afaik, you would have to handle it on a database level.

<@U02K50BMJRX> my previous message was specifically about logs. But to delete specific flow runs, you could use the `delete_flow_run` mutation
