The `influxdb3 debug sweep list` command names the[orphaned file cleanup](/influxdb3/enterprise/admin/orphaned-file-cleanup/)passes recorded for a cluster, oldest to newest.
It reads the audit trail directly from object storage and doesn’t need a
running InfluxDB 3 Enterprise server.

## Usage

```bash
influxdb3 debug sweep list [OPTIONS] --cluster-id <CLUSTER_ID>
```

## Options

|                  Option                   |                                                                Description                                                                |Required|

|`--engine-path-prefix <ENGINE_PATH_PREFIX>`|                  Engine path prefix the cluster runs with, if any. Environment variable: `INFLUXDB3_ENGINE_PATH_PREFIX`                   |   No   |
|              `-h`, `--help`               |                                                          Print help information                                                           |   No   |

`influxdb3 debug sweep list` accepts the same object store connection
options as `influxdb3 serve`. For example, `--aws-access-key-id` and`--aws-secret-access-key` for S3-compatible stores.
For the complete object store flag reference, see[`influxdb3 debug object-store-check`](/influxdb3/enterprise/reference/cli/influxdb3/debug/object-store-check/#options).

## Examples

### List recorded cleanup passes

Replace the following:

* `CLUSTER_ID`:
  your cluster identifier
* `S3_BUCKET`:
  your object store bucket name

```bash
influxdb3 debug sweep list \
  --object-store s3 \
  --bucket S3_BUCKET \
  --cluster-id CLUSTER_ID
```

If no passes are recorded yet, the command prints `no passes recorded` to
standard error and exits successfully.
