Delete synoptic data of any particular station for the particular time

[KashifProg]

Hello team,

Could please advise how can I delete/unpublish synoptic data of one particular station for the particular period of time? Our staff sent the retired data of 2025-04-30 2100 when the date and month was changed so the file was generated with the year and month 202505 and plugin picked up the month from the name of file and generated the data of 2025-05-30. I am currently using latest release 1.0.0 of win2box.
Screen shot attached for reference.
Thanks,

Kashif

Hi @KashifProg

The wis2box-management container has a cronjob that runs the command wis2box api clean once a day.

This commands cleans data from the API-backend (Elasticsearch) and removes data older than the retention-period as well as data in the future (see https://github.com/World-Meteorological-Organization/wis2box/blob/main/wis2box-management/wis2box/api/backend/elastic.py#L400-L434 )

You can run this command manually by logging to the wis2box-management container as follows:

python3 wis2box-ctl.py login
wis2box api clean

kind regards,
Maaike

Thank you @maaikelimper I was able to clean the data uploaded with future date.
As per my understand there is only real time data supposed to be published to WIS2.0 therefore it should not accept the data uploaded with future date.

Thanks,

@KashifProg you are right wis2box should not accept data uploaded with future date.

Can you please share with me the input-method used to upload data for wis2box when you encountered this issue ?

I will create an issue to improve wis2box to reject any data with future timestamp is rejected.

Here is the process we follow to validate the data and send to wis2box.
I have prepared a Java based application which validates the data and generates files for WIS2.0 and also for GTS with Headers.
The software uses current date time stamp for the file name following the format accepted by synop2bufr plugin.
Once the file is generated it use Java minio client to upload the file to Minio incoming bucket.
I have made the change in our Java based application to calculate time different between current time and the time for which the data is being generated and go back to past time reducing the time different. The application now assigns the file name with correct month and year but the issue should be fixed at WIS2.0 level as well to not accept data of future date.
I have attached screen shot of my application and also attached the file which caused the issue.

Thanks,
Kashif
