NAME
rt-shredder - Utility to wipe out data from your RT database
SYNOPSIS
rt-shredder --plugin list
rt-shredder --plugin help-Tickets
rt-shredder --plugin 'Tickets=query,Queue="general" and Status="deleted"'
rt-shredder --sqldump unshred.sql --plugin ...
rt-shredder --force --plugin ...DESCRIPTION
rt-shredder wipes out objects from your RT database. This script uses an API that the RT::Shredder module adds to RT. This script can also be used as example of usage of the shredder API.
USAGE
You can use several options to control which objects rt-shredder should wipe out.
When using other options, the --plugin option must be provided last.
OPTIONS
--sqldump <filename>
Outputs INSERT queries into a file for all shredded records. This dump can be used to restore data after wiping out.
By default rt-shredder creates files named <ISO_date>-XXXX.sql in the current directory.
--no-sqldump
Don't generate the SQL dump file.
The SQL dump file provides you with a way to "undo" the removal of records from your RT database, if needed. Use this option only if you are sure you have a recent, valid database backup in case you need to recover data that may have been shredded in error.
--object (DEPRECATED)
Option has been deprecated, use plugin Objects instead.
--plugin '<plugin name>[=<arg>,<val>[;<arg>,<val>]...]'
You can use plugins to select RT objects with various conditions. See also --plugin list and --plugin help options.
--plugin list
Output list of the available plugins.
--plugin help-<plugin name>
Outputs help for specified plugin.
--force
Don't prompt with questions before shredding objects.
