Chapter 6. Cleaning Tempest Resources
After running tempest, there will be files, users and tenants created in the testing process that need to be deleted. The ability to self-clean is one of the design principles of tempest.
6.1. Performing a Clean Up
First you must initialize the saved state. This creates the file saved_state.json, which prevents the cleanup from deleting objects that need to be kept. Typically you would run cleanup with --init-saved-state prior to a tempest run. If this is not the case, saved_state.json must be edited to remove objects you want cleanup to delete.
$ tempest cleanup --init-saved-state
Run the cleanup:
$ tempest cleanup
6.2. Performing a Dry Run
A dry run lists the files that would be deleted by a cleanup, but does not delete any files. The files are listed in the dry_run.json file.
$ tempest cleanup --dry-run
6.3. Deleting Tempest Objects
Delete users and tenants created by tempest:
$ tempest cleanup --delete-tempest-conf-objects
