→ Applies to: SynetoOS 5.x

Step 1. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

Step 2. Get root privileges

sudo su -

Step 3. Access Chronos database

kubectl exec -it pods/postgres-postgresql-0 -- bash -c 'PGPASSWORD=$POSTGRES_PASSWORD psql --host localhost --user postgres -d chronos'

Step 4. List tasks (replace <tasks_number> with the number of tasks to extract)

SELECT id, name, status, created_at FROM jobs ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT <tasks_number>;

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

id                  |      name       |  status   |         created_at

IMPORTANT
Save the identifier of the task to be cancelled
Take note of the identifier shown in the ID column (ES: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000)

Step 5. Cancel the task (replace <task_ID> with the ID from Step 4)

DELETE FROM jobs WHERE id = '<task_ID>';

EXAMPLE

DELETE FROM jobs WHERE id = '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000';
