Cleanup & Maintenance

Old run directories accumulate over time. daggle provides cleanup commands to reclaim disk space.

CLI

daggle clean --older-than 30d

Removes run directories and logs older than the specified duration. Accepts d (days), h (hours), or w (weeks).

daggle clean --older-than 2w --dry-run

The --dry-run flag shows what would be deleted without removing anything.

curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/api/v1/runs/cleanup \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"older_than": "30d"}'

daggleR::cleanup(older_than = "30d")

Each run stores stdout/stderr logs per step, an events.jsonl file, and a meta.json file
DAGs that run frequently or produce verbose output can consume significant space
Schedule periodic cleanup via cron or as a lifecycle hook in a maintenance DAG
The --dry-run flag is useful for estimating how much space will be freed before committing
