Allow file shadows to be deleted based on EPP user
Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.
Say I have a user that has been sending and downloading a bunch of files. I have file shadowing enabled, and I can correlate file shadows to the file tracing logs using the file hash. Great!
I’ve now inspected the file shadows and determined that those related to this user can be safely deleted to free up space.
However, this currently entails manually deleting each file shadow…
I would like to be able to delete file shadows in a smarter way, e.g., by being able to select file shadows related to a user.
Since the same file could theoretically be related to several users, the selection of file shadows related to a user could take this into account and only select file shadows exclusive to that user.
In this way, the deletion of many file shadows could be done in a few clicks.
How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?
Currently, the only solution I’ve found to deleting all user-related file shadows is to get all the file traces related to the user in question and then manually going through the list of file shadows and deleting them based on this list pulled from the file traces.
This is already tedious for even just a few files and would simply be too impractical for larger amounts of files.
