CI/CD: Optimize Disk Space on AIQ Controller and Test Nodes
CI/CD: Optimize Disk Space on AIQ Controller and Test Nodes
Use this article when CI/CD activity or frequent AIQ executions consume disk space on the Controller or Test Nodes. Clean up only approved files and keep execution evidence required for reporting or troubleshooting.
Common disk consumers
- Execution artifacts, screenshots, videos, logs, and downloaded files.
- Browser caches, temporary folders, package-manager caches, and build outputs.
- Old installers, archived reports, and unused test assets.
- Database backups or exports stored on the same host.
Safe cleanup workflow
- Measure disk usage before deleting anything.
- Confirm the retention requirement for evidence, reports, logs, and backups.
- Remove only files that match the approved cleanup target and date range.
- Automate cleanup through CI/CD or scheduled maintenance only after the manual process is verified.
- Run a small AIQ execution afterward to confirm the node and controller still operate normally.
Warning: Do not delete active execution folders, current logs needed for troubleshooting, or database files unless the maintenance plan explicitly covers them.
