<h1 id="purge-history-api"><a class="header" href="#purge-history-api">Purge History API</a></h1>
|
|
<p>The purge history API allows server admins to purge historic events from their
|
|
database, reclaiming disk space.</p>
|
|
<p>Depending on the amount of history being purged a call to the API may take
|
|
several minutes or longer. During this period users will not be able to
|
|
paginate further back in the room from the point being purged from.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that Synapse requires at least one message in each room, so it will never
|
|
delete the last message in a room.</p>
|
|
<p>The API is:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_history/<room_id>[/<event_id>]
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an <code>access_token</code> for a
|
|
server admin: <a href="../usage/administration/admin_api">Admin API</a></p>
|
|
<p>By default, events sent by local users are not deleted, as they may represent
|
|
the only copies of this content in existence. (Events sent by remote users are
|
|
deleted.)</p>
|
|
<p>Room state data (such as joins, leaves, topic) is always preserved.</p>
|
|
<p>To delete local message events as well, set <code>delete_local_events</code> in the body:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>{
|
|
"delete_local_events": true
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The caller must specify the point in the room to purge up to. This can be
|
|
specified by including an event_id in the URI, or by setting a
|
|
<code>purge_up_to_event_id</code> or <code>purge_up_to_ts</code> in the request body. If an event
|
|
id is given, that event (and others at the same graph depth) will be retained.
|
|
If <code>purge_up_to_ts</code> is given, it should be a timestamp since the unix epoch,
|
|
in milliseconds.</p>
|
|
<p>The API starts the purge running, and returns immediately with a JSON body with
|
|
a purge id:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-json">{
|
|
"purge_id": "<opaque id>"
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<h2 id="purge-status-query"><a class="header" href="#purge-status-query">Purge status query</a></h2>
|
|
<p>It is possible to poll for updates on recent purges with a second API;</p>
|
|
<pre><code>GET /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_history_status/<purge_id>
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Again, you will need to authenticate by providing an <code>access_token</code> for a
|
|
server admin.</p>
|
|
<p>This API returns a JSON body like the following:</p>
|
|
<pre><code class="language-json">{
|
|
"status": "active"
|
|
}
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>The status will be one of <code>active</code>, <code>complete</code>, or <code>failed</code>.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="reclaim-disk-space-postgres"><a class="header" href="#reclaim-disk-space-postgres">Reclaim disk space (Postgres)</a></h2>
|
|
<p>To reclaim the disk space and return it to the operating system, you need to run
|
|
<code>VACUUM FULL;</code> on the database.</p>
