Delete Inactive Anomalies
Add a Delete action to a Flow to permanently remove anomalies after they have been inactive for a set amount of time. This fits cases where you don't need to keep a record of the anomaly, for example short-lived data or noise you just want to clear out. For the evaluation mechanics behind the action, see Anomaly.
Delete is permanent
A Delete action removes the anomaly record, its comments, and its links to tags, assignees, and external tickets, and it cannot be undone. To keep the history, use Archive instead. Review What a Delete Removes before setting one up.
Permission Required
You need the Manager role to edit and publish Flows. See Flow Permissions for details.
Field reference
The settings panel is split into two sections, Configuration and Filter Conditions.
Configuration
| Field | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inactivity Period | Number | How long an anomaly must remain untouched (no updates or comments) before it's deleted. Defaults to Quarter. Pick a preset or type a custom number of days, from 1 to 3,650: - Week: 7 days. - Month: 30 days. - Quarter: 90 days. - Year: 365 days. |
Filter Conditions
All filters are optional, and all filled-in filters must match (AND logic). They add on top of the Inactivity Period, not in place of it.
| Field | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source Datastores | List | Delete only anomalies originating from the selected datastores. Leave empty to consider all datastores. | |
| Anomaly Statuses | List | Restrict deletion to anomalies in specific statuses. Every status appears, including already-archived ones. Leave empty to target every status. | |
| Anomaly Tags | List | Delete only anomalies labeled with the selected tags. |
