Operations 4

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

POST /api/v0/retention/nodes/delete-nodes/config Configure the delete-nodes retention job · Job scheduler configure delete nodes scheduler #
Ask an LLM
“How do I change how often Automate runs the job that deletes nodes?”
“Can I turn off the delete-nodes retention job?”
Tell an agent
Run the delete-nodes job every {every} with threshold {threshold}.
Set the delete-nodes scheduler running state to {running}.
POST /api/v0/retention/nodes/missing-nodes-deletion/config Configure deletion of nodes that stay missing · Job scheduler configure missing nodes for deletion scheduler #
Ask an LLM
“How long can a node stay missing before Automate deletes it?”
“Can I schedule automatic removal of nodes that have been missing for a while?”
Tell an agent
Delete nodes that have been missing longer than {threshold}, checking every {every}.
Set the missing-nodes-for-deletion job running state to {running}.
POST /api/v0/retention/nodes/missing-nodes/config Configure when nodes are marked missing · Job scheduler configure nodes missing scheduler #
Ask an LLM
“After how long without a check-in does a node get marked missing?”
“Can I change how often Automate checks for missing nodes?”
Tell an agent
Mark nodes as missing after {threshold} without reporting, checking every {every}.
Set the mark-nodes-missing scheduler running state to {running}.
GET /api/v0/retention/nodes/status Get the status of node retention jobs · Job scheduler get status job scheduler #
Ask an LLM
“What are the current settings and run state of the node retention jobs?”
“Is the missing-node cleanup job currently running?”
Tell an agent
Show the status of the node lifecycle job scheduler.
Get the thresholds and intervals for all node retention jobs.
