How to clenup table event_logs?

[VA-PLE]

Hi. I noticed that the dagster database takes up a lot of disk space. The largest table is event_logs (99% size)

| event_logs | 18 GB |

How can I clear these logs? Can I set a retention period for these logs?

Hey Vasyl! Have you seen this post on how to programmatically clean up the event logs? The summary is that you can use DagsterInstance.get(), fetch the run logs from there, and then delete those runs and their logs.

I don't believe there is a way to set a retention policy, but I'll take that feedback back to the team!

If that satisfies your needs, I'll mark this discussion as a duplicate of that linked one!

There is now this? https://docs.dagster.io/deployment/oss/oss-instance-configuration#data-retention

I believe it works only for sensor/schedule ticks. Not the actual runs stored in the event logs

@Last-Uchiha18 do you have any information about retention policy for the database save log, runs of dagster?
