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

The caller must be a member of a group that is granted one of the following capabilities:

Flush Caches (any cache except “web_sessions”)
Maintain Server (any cache including “web_sessions”)
Administrate Server (any cache including “web_sessions”)

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
        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
