Chapter 7. Cleaning Tempest Resources

First, you must initialize the saved state. This creates the file saved_state.json, which prevents the cleanup from deleting objects that need to be kept. Typically you would run cleanup with --init-saved-state prior to a tempest run. If this is not the case, saved_state.json must be edited to remove objects that you want cleanup to delete.

# tempest cleanup --init-saved-state

Run the cleanup:

# tempest cleanup

The tempest cleanup command deletes tempest resources but does not delete projects or the tempest administrator account.

It is recommended to perform a dry run before executing the real cleanup. A dry run lists the files that would be deleted by a cleanup, but does not delete any files. The files are listed in the dry_run.json file. Check the dry_run.json file to ensure that the cleanup does not delete any files that you require for your environment.

# tempest cleanup --dry-run

Run the following command to delete all tempest resources, including projects, but not the tempest administrator account:

# tempest cleanup --delete-tempest-conf-objects
