Clean all Tasks and Samples

To clean your setup, run -h to see available options:

$ poetry run python utils/cleaners.py -h

To sum up, this command does the following:

  • Delete analysis results.

  • Delete submitted binaries.

  • Delete all associated information of the tasks and samples in the configured database.

  • Delete all data in the configured MongoDB (if configured and enabled in reporting.conf).

  • Delete all data in ElasticSearch (if configured and enabled in reporting.conf).

Warning

If you use this command you will delete permanently all data stored by CAPE in all storages: file system, SQL database, and MongoDB/ElasticSearch database. Use it only if you are sure you would clean up all the data.

After executing the poetry run python cleaners.py --clean utility, you must restart CAPE service as it destroys the database.:

$ sudo systemctl restart cape

After any other option, you don’t need to restart the service.
