How to purge old analysis (DB size increase quickly)

[dja-fr]

Is this a request for help?: yes

Hello,

We are running an anchore instance used by our team for docker scan in their CICD pipeline.

We notice that the size of postgres database increase quickly.

Is there a way to purge old scan to recover space in DB ? (manually or cronjob)

thank

Hi @dja-fr,
You can use Anchore analysis-archives rules to control the number of images into the working set
