The task_log table contains instance usage audit records if
nova-compute has been configured with [DEFAULT]instance_usage_audit =
True. This will be the case if OpenStack Telemetry is being used in the
deployment, as the option causes nova to generate audit information
that Telemetry then retrieves from the server usage audit log API [1].
Historically, there has been no way to delete task_log table records
other than manual database modification. Because of this, task_log
records could pile up over time and operators are forced to perform
manual steps to periodically truncate the table.
This adds a --task-log option to the 'nova-manage db
archive_deleted_rows' CLI to also archive task_log records while
archiving the database. --task-log works in conjunction with --before
if operators desire archving only records that are older than <date>.
The 'updated_at' field is used by --task-log --before <date> to
determine the age of a task_log record for archival.
