gerrit flush-caches

gerrit flush-caches - Flush some/all server caches from memory

Clear an in-memory cache, forcing Gerrit to reconsult the ground truth when it needs the information again.

Flushing a cache may be necessary if an administrator modifies database records directly in the database, rather than going through the Gerrit web interface.

If no options are supplied, defaults to —all.

Caller must be a member of the privileged Administrators group.

This command is intended to be used in scripts.

--all

Flush all known caches. This is like applying a big hammer, it will force everything out, potentially more than was necessary for the change made. This option automatically skips flushing potentially dangerous caches such as "web_sessions". To flush one of these caches, the caller must specifically name them on the command line, e.g. pass --cache=web_sessions.

--list

Show a list of the caches.

--cache=<NAME>

Flush only the cache called <NAME>. May be supplied more than once to flush multiple caches in a single command execution.

List caches available for flushing:

$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit flush-caches --list
accounts
accounts_byemail
diff
groups
ldap_groups
openid
projects
sshkeys
web_sessions

Flush all caches known to the server, forcing them to recompute:

$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit flush-caches --all

or

$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit flush-caches

Flush only the "sshkeys" cache, after manually editing an SSH key for a user:

$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit flush-caches --cache sshkeys

Flush "web_sessions", forcing all users to sign-in again:

$ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com gerrit flush-caches --cache web_sessions
