gerrit flush-caches

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

'ssh' -p <port> <host> 'gerrit flush-caches' --all 'ssh' -p <port> <host> 'gerrit flush-caches' --list 'ssh' -p <port> <host> 'gerrit flush-caches' --cache <NAME> …

DESCRIPTION

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.

ACCESS

Caller must be a member of the privileged 'Administrators' group, or in a group that have been granted the 'Flush Caches' global capability.

SCRIPTING

This command is intended to be used in scripts.

OPTIONS

--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.

EXAMPLES

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

$ 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
