Hey in my self hosted signoz setup. Signoz is retaining all traces it should clear up metrics that are older than a than a week, which is the default behavior. This is leading to my storage being full. I installed signoz using the default chart on my kubernetes cluster.

That shouldn’t be the case, How long did it retain beyond the TTL limit?

The trace time limit is 7 days. I can see traces from 27th of June. Is there a way to force a cleanup?

Can you share one such example trace and confirm if you haven’t updated the retention from settings?

Here’s the trace details screenshot and the settings for traces.

That’s unusual. You need to exec into clickhouse and run

OPTIMIZE TABLE ... FINAL

to force trigger the cleanup. Run this on the

signoz_index_v2

table.
