SOLVED Delete multiple "Periodic Snapshot Tasks" at once

[T-One]

Hello,

i created a "Periodic Snapshot Task" and clicked "Recursive", now i have a couple hundred Snapshot Tasks and want to start over with a more selective setup.
Is there a way to delete multiple or all of this tasks at once via CLI? I couldn't find anything in the GUI (just a "Select All").

Thanks in advance.

you can get a list of all the IDs with midclt call pool.snapshottask.query and then call midclt call pool.snapshottask.delete X (where X is the ID of the task you want deleted) You could script it to do a range of IDs.

Thank you, i did not know of the midclt command.

Super ugly but it works:

Code:

midclt call pool.snapshottask.query | python -m json.tool | awk -v n=1 '/SSD\// && NR>n {print window[(NR-n)%n]}{window[NR%n]=substr($2, 1, length($2)-1)}' | while read line; do midclt call pool.snapshottask.delete $line; done

SSD is the Dataset i filter (with \/ for trailing slash), substr.... in the awk deletes the trailing "," of the "ID:".

Oh that's super nice to know, thank you! I'm a Truenas noob and just started with 12.0
