Re: Manual Volume Snapshot retention

Hi Alessandro, Sorry forgot to say this requires you to set CloudMonkey to display json. If CloudMonkey display is set to “default” you will get parse error. Either: In your //.cloudmonkey/config file set the following: [ui] display = json Or do this from command line: # cloudmonkey

Re: Manual Volume Snapshot retention

Re: Manual Volume Snapshot retention

Hi Alessandro, “Jq” is your friend here. You would start by just listing all the volume snapshot ordered by create time – whilst also capturing the snapshot ID: # cloudmonkey list snapshots volumeid=21f830d8-b182-41dc-8a10-48ff0a07f299 | jq -r '.snapshot[] | .created + "|" + .id' | sort -r
