Cloud asset cleanup

Cloud assets are cleaned up automatically during cleanup cycle or manually based on the following criteria:

  • No active protection plan to cloud asset.

  • Asset is not discovered in last 30 days (cleanup age).

  • No recovery points exist.

  • Asset is marked for deletion (asset is deleted on CloudPoint server).

User can enhance this cloud asset cleanup criteria by updating cleanup-age and providing specific filter criteria for assets through bp.conf file. Following parameters must be configured in bp.conffile:

  • CLOUD.CLEANUP_AGE_MINUTES

  • CLOUD.CLEANUP_FILTER

For example,

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbsetconfig

nbsetconfig> CLOUD.CLEANUP_AGE_MINUTES = 180

nbsetconfig> CLOUD.CLEANUP_FILTER = "provider eq 'aws'"

nbsetconfig>

User can also manually run POST named query cleanup-assets with the following request body and then run GET with query-id from POST response as described in the following example:

{
    "data":{
    "type":"query",
    "attributes":{
        "queryName":"cleanup-assets",
        "workloads":["cloud"],
        "parameters": {
            "cleanup_age_minutes": 180
        },
        "filter": "provider eq 'aws'"
      }
    }
}
