2.10.5. Delete a Configuration Snapshot Using Management CLI

Prerequisites

Snapshots are a point-in-time copy of the current server instance. These copies can be saved and loaded by the administrator.
The following examples use the standalone.xml instance, but the same process applies to the domain.xml and host.xml models.

Procedure 2.7. Delete a Specific Snapshot

  1. Identify the snapshot to be deleted. This example will delete the following file from the snapshot directory. 
    EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone_xml_history/snapshot/20110630-165714239standalone.xml
  2. Run the :delete-snapshot command to delete a specific snapshot, specifying the name of the snapshot as in the example below. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] :delete-snapshot(name="20110630-165714239standalone.xml")
{"outcome" => "success"}
Result

The snapshot has been deleted.

Procedure 2.8. Delete All Snapshots

  • Run the :delete-snapshot(name="all") command to delete all snapshots as in the example below. 
    [standalone@localhost:9999 /] :delete-snapshot(name="all")
{"outcome" => "success"}
Result

All snapshots have been deleted.
