Review old run-history records
Decide which operational records remain useful for support and troubleshooting.
Keep useful run history and remove older records with care.
Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.
For an administrator responsible for an automation environment, prepare a cleanup plan that retains a chosen number of recent run records per process and identifies older entries for removal. Deletion can remove evidence needed for troubleshooting, audits, or investigations, and one run may cover only a limited portion of the history. Confirm the retention policy, preserve required records and backups, preview the affected items, test recovery, and require an authorized owner to approve deletion before activating the cleanup.
Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.
A scheduled run-history review is dueAn administrator-approved retention policy, defined environment scope, and recovery plan
“Reduce unnecessary history while retaining records required for operations and accountability.”
Work through the request.
Clear tasks, with review where it matters.
- Define the environment and retention purpose
- Choose a conservative retention count
- Preview the records within the cleanup limit
A reviewed cleanup plan with affected-record counts, retention settings, and deletion approval.
What this workflow could do
Helps an administrator identify older automation run records beyond a configured retention count and remove them from the selected environment.
Review points proposed in this idea
This process deletes operational records, potentially including failed runs, and may retrieve only a limited set in each pass. Review scope and counts, preserve required audit history, test a backup and recovery path, and approve the exact deletion plan before activation.
How the idea could work
Select an illustrative task to explore its proposed role. No workflow runs here.
-
Confirm which records may be removed and which are needed for support, audit, or investigations.
-
Set how many recent records to keep for each process and document the rationale.
-
Check how many and which statuses are in scope, and note any older records not included in the review.
-
Confirm the records can be restored or are no longer required before deletion.
-
Have an authorized administrator confirm the scope, review deletion results, and retain an audit note.
Step 1 of 5
Define the environment and retention purpose
Confirm which records may be removed and which are needed for support, audit, or investigations.
Proposed setup considerations
These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.
- 01
Document retention and audit obligations
Identify operational, legal, and incident records that must not be removed.
- 02
Set safe retention and retrieval limits
Account for per-run record limits and avoid broad deletion defaults.
- 03
Test backups and recovery before activation
Verify a recent backup can restore the records and environment needed for operations.
- 04
Require an administrator’s deletion approval
Keep the cleanup paused until counts, scope, and affected records have been reviewed.
