Story: Identify and direct the purging of Event logging raw logs older than 90 days in stat1002.
This is tracket as part of RT ticket: #8760
*** Bug 72742 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
From Aaron H: Sorry for the late response, but I'm still not sure what lives in /a/eventlogging/archive/* Will deleting from there affect what logs we have stored in the DB? Is this an intermediate log storage place, a canonical one, etc.? What will we no longer be able to do after it is pruned?
>Will deleting from there affect what logs we have stored in the DB? No it does not. >Is this an intermediate log storage place, a canonical one, etc.? Neither, these are operational logs. They also store events that do not validate and thus did not made it to the DB. Those log entries are used to troubleshoot operational issues and we should not need them around for longer than 90 days.
Andrew's comment in RT: This is done for eventlogging: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/171329/ I ran the job manually. I will wait a day or two to make sure the cron runs as expected, and then apply this for all other logs.
