goback maintain

Run the housekeeping that is due, for example from cron

Without a subcommand, maintain sweeps, retires, compacts and builds presence filters. It collects garbage once the last collection is older than –gc-interval. It also rebuilds the database indexes of heavily changed tables in the index. A subcommand runs one of these operations. A store server runs this housekeeping on its own schedule.

Terminal window

Flag Description Environment Default
--gc-interval value collect garbage when the last collection is at least this old; 0 turns collection off 168h0m0s
