Viewing the garbage collection queue

Before you purge deleted and overwritten objects from the storage cluster, use the radosgw-admin command to view the objects awaiting garbage collection.

Prerequisites

  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.

  • Root-level access to the Ceph Object Gateway.

Procedure

  • To view the queue of objects awaiting garbage collection:

    Example 

    [ceph: root@host01 /]# radosgw-admin gc list
Note: To list all entries in the queue, including unexpired entries, use the --include-all option.
