How to Find Untagged Resources

A resource can be tagged with an expiration tag that instructs Resoto to clean it up at a defined time. This can serve as a safety net for when a CI job fails or the IaC tool aborts halfway through its run, or even as the primary means of managing resource lifecycles.

Resoto calculates the expiration time of a resource based on its expiration tag and stores the result as the value of the metadata.expires property.

Prerequisites​

This guide assumes that you have already installed and configured Resoto to collect your cloud resources.

Directions​

Execute the following search in Resoto Shell to find all instances and volumes that are not tagged with both owner and expiration within 2 hours of creation:

> search is(instance,volume) and age > 2h and (tags.owner = null or tags.expiration = null)
