Advanced tools
A simple management command that can delete expired sessions from large session tables without killing the site.
A simple management command that can delete expired sessions from large session tables without killing the site.
The main use case is if you have a live application with millions of stale sessions in the database. Runnung the
regular python manage.py cleanup
will potentially lock your database for hours, essentially killing your site.
With django-graceful-session-cleanup
you can gradually delete all the sessions.
To achieve this it will always only delete a small amount of the expired sessions per query and then sleep for a few seconds. There are commandline options to control interval, sleep time and amount of sessions to delete per interval.
install the package::
pip install django-graceful-session-cleanup
add it to INSTALLED_APPS
::
INSTALLED_APPS = [
....
'graceful_session_cleanup',
]
run the management command::
python manage.py graceful_session_cleanup
There are a few options you can use::
python manage.py graceful_session_cleanup --sleep-seconds 9 --delete-count 1000 --iteration-count 200
This will delete 1000
expired session entries, wait for 5
seconds so other processes can use the
database and then repeat this 200
times. Depending on database load (assuming deleting takes 1s
) this
will take (9s + 1s) * 200 = 2000s
.
there is help on the commandline::
$ python manage.py help graceful_session_cleanup
Usage: django graceful_session_cleanup [options]
Can be run as a cronjob or directly to clean out old data from the database (only expired sessions at the moment). Does this in a live db friendly way by never hogging the connection too long.

--pythonpath=PYTHONPATH

"/home/djangoprojects/myproject".
--traceback Print traceback on exception
-s SLEEP_SECONDS, --sleep-seconds=SLEEP_SECONDS
