We recently completed a clean up project in our Tridion Docs 15.1 environment and now have more than 6 million items under the "View All Events". We would like to empty out the queue, we have tried API2.5, but it only allows me to delete one item at at time based on progress id. Is there an ISHRemote query to directly delete them from the database. Here is the query I am currently running to delete them.
eventClient.DeleteByProgressId(progressid, true, false);
TIA
Hello Akheil Jain ,
There is an automatic cleanup process for Events that is done by a maintenance database job dbo.ISHCore_TrisoftInfoShareJob
The default values are
@RemoveEventsInDays int = 7, - default for successful events
@RemoveBusyEventsInDays int = 28, - default for busy events
@RemoveFailedEventsInDays int = 28, - default for failed events
You can execute the job manually using SQL Management Studio and modify the parameters
-- This step removes all successful events older than 1 day exec dbo.ISHCore_RemoveEvents 1,'N','Y','N' -- This step removes all busy events older than x days exec dbo.ISHCore_RemoveEvents @RemoveBusyEventsInDays,'Y','N','N' -- This step removes all failed events older than 14 days exec dbo.ISHCore_RemoveEvents 14,'N','Y','Y'
POST /v3/Events/Overview/Get
with request body
Translate
{
"eventTypes": [],
"statusFilter": "all",
"modifiedSince": "2025-08-20T00:00:00+03:00",
"userFilter": "all"
}
to get the overview of Events
And in the loop, delete them using DELETE /v3/Events/ByProgressId/{ProgressId}
In case you are using an autogenerated client for Tridion Docs OpenAPI
Then you can use a code snippet like this
var filterToReturnEvents = new GetEventOverview
{
EventTypes = new List<string> { "SYNCHRONIZEMETRICS", "CLEANUPMETRICS" }, //remove this line in case you want all event types
StatusFilter = ProgressStatusFilter.All
};
var eventProgressList = await tridionDocsClient.GetEventOverviewAsync(filterToReturnEvents);
foreach (var eventProgress in eventProgressList)
{
var filterToDeleteEvents = new DeleteEvent
{
DeleteBusyEvents = false,
DeleteFailedEvents = false
};
await tridionDocsClient.DeleteEventAsync(eventProgress.ProgressId, filterToDeleteEvents);
}
