Manually Purge Old Data from Database
Tip
To schedule automatic database cleanup, see Automatic Event And Episode Cleanup.
To manually remove old data from the FindFace Multi database, use the cleanup utility. You can separately remove the following data:
matched events (faces, bodies, cars) and related episodes (currently only faces),
unmatched events (faces, bodies, cars) and related episodes (faces),
full frames of matched events (faces, bodies, cars),
full frames of unmatched events (faces, bodies, cars),
counter records,
person events,
audit-logs.
To invoke the cleanup help message, execute:
sudo findface-security cleanup --help

--configuration CONFIGURATION
The name of the configuration class to load, e.g.
"Development". If this isn't provided, the
DJANGO_CONFIGURATION environment variable will be
used.
--version show program's version number and exit
-v {0,1,2,3}, --verbosity {0,1,2,3}
Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal output,
2=verbose output, 3=very verbose output
--settings SETTINGS The Python path to a settings module, e.g.
"myproject.settings.main". If this isn't provided, the
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable will be
used.
--pythonpath PYTHONPATH

"/home/djangoprojects/myproject".
--traceback Raise on CommandError exceptions
--no-color Don't colorize the command output.
--force-color Force colorization of the command output.
--skip-checks Skip system checks.
To entirely remove events and episodes older than a given number of days, use the --*-events-matched-age/--*-events-unmatched-age options, subject to the object type. For example, to remove unmatched car events older than 5 days, execute:
sudo findface-security cleanup --car-events-unmatched-age 5
To remove only matched car events older than 5 days, execute:
sudo findface-security cleanup --car-events-matched-age 5
The following commands remove only full frames of matched/unmatched body events:
sudo findface-security cleanup --body-events-fullframe-matched-age 5
sudo findface-security cleanup --body-events-fullframe-unmatched-age 5
To remove only counter records, execute:
sudo findface-security cleanup --counter-records-age 5
To remove only person events, execute:
sudo findface-security cleanup --person-events-age 5
To remove only audit logs, execute:
sudo findface-security cleanup --audit-logs-age 5
