Storage Management

This extension for Sym8 gives you an overview of your vHost storage usage (broken down by specific directories) and lets you clean various caches (expired or all cache files) directly from the backend.

General

On the backend page „Storage Management“ you can find an overview of total disk usage and the usage for specific directories:

• manifest/cache
• extensions
• symphony
• workspace

You can also clear the following cache types:

• The Database cache, used by the Cacheable class
• The File cache, i.e. manifest/cache directory
• xCacheLite extension cache files only (requires xCacheLite extension)
• Cacheable Datasource extension cache

Requirements

• Requires Sym8 ≥ 2.84.2
• Note: This extension is not compatible with Symphony ≤ 2.7.x

Installation

• git clone or download and unpack the zip file
• Place the folder in your Sym8 extensions/ directory
• Then enable it in the backend: select "Storage Management" in the extension list, choose "Enable" from the with-selected menu, and click "Apply".

After installation, set the total webspace in the Symphony Preferences for Storage Management to display the disk usage graph.

How to use
