<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm looking at shredding a ton of old data from our system and I want to make sure I am understanding the steps involved to ensure everything is cleaned up properly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have shredder setup and have shredded some tickest through the WebUI to test things out. All is working in that aspect.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My RT instance has had a fairly long lifecycle where queues have come and gone. I want to clean up the mess. I want to shred all the stuff that isn't related to anything recent.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm thinking I have to do the following:</div>
<div>- shred all the tickets that aren't in the active queues</div>
<div>- shred all users that aren't attached to anything</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the Shredder page of the Wiki it talks about running rt-validator.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do I have to run this at all after I've done the shredding?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is going to shred about 30,000 tickets, and a huge number of Users. Does the shredding have to be done on a quiet system? I've shred a few tickets while we were live without issue... I'm just worried that I kick off a process to shred a large volume and it chokes my server out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any experience/input is appreciated.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
