Scavenging

As Fleet Manager avoids deleting data in most cases (e.g. when you hide queues/machines, archive failed messages, etc), Fleet Manager will periodically reclaim storage space by scavenging various areas of the application in the background.

In other words: Most things DO end up being deleted, only after starying soft-deleted for a period of time, within which it's usually possible (although not always super-easy) to undelete them.

This page puts a few words on the soft-delete strategy for different things.

Alerts

Alerts

Alerts (the entries from the "Active Alerts" screen) are not deleted for now. They probably will be in the future.

Alert Rules

Alert rules are never deleted, they're just made invisible when you click the X. If you've accidentally "deleted" an alerty rule, please get in touch and then we'll bring it back.

Projections

Queues

Queues hidden from the application are deleted after having stayed hidden for one month.

Machines

Machines hidden from the application are deleted after having stayed hidden for one month.

Failed Messages

Failed messages moved to the archive are deleted after having stayed there for one month.

Bus instances

Logs from individual bus instances ("bus started", "heartbeat", etc.) are deleted after one hour without any signs of activity from that instance.

Should a bus instance reappear after such a period of silence, it will reappear in the application, but Fleet Manager will not know when the bus started, changed its number of workers, etc.

Account log

The log of activities within an account will be kept for one month, meaning that entries older than one month are periodically deleted.

Histograms

Histograms keeping track of message activity per queue/machine/bus instance are deleted after 360 days of not having tracked any activity for that entity.
