New Job Delete API Added to Ops Manager

This alert informs users of a new jobDelete API now available in Operations Manager for the 2023.2.3 release.

IAP Supports Deletion of Historical Jobs Data

As jobs collect in an IAP deployment, there is oftentimes a need to periodically delete them. This operation now takes place from the Operations (Ops) Manager jobs-list interface and supports deletion of historical jobs data by id.

Job Delete API

To support deletion of jobs data, two new API endpoints were added to app-operations_manager to delete job artifacts from the database along with all of the job-related documents, including tasks documents, variables, and data stored in GridFS.

DELETE can only delete jobs that are completed or cancelled.

DELETE /operations-manager/jobs/:jobId

POST is for batch deletes accepting a payload of jobIds: ['id1', 'id2', ...]

POST /operations-manager/jobs/delete

The API response includes the status for each job id (deleted, ignored) with a 200 status code.

Delete Jobs in Ops Manager

Updates made to the Ops Manager interface include a new delete button in the Jobs table, and the ability to delete when viewing job details, all of which utilizes the new jobDelete APIs.
