NAME

       traffic_cache_tool - Traffic Server cache management tool

SYNOPSIS

       traffic_cache_tool [OPTIONS] COMMAND [SUBCOMMAND ...] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

traffic_cache_tool is designed to interact with the Traffic Server cache both for inspection and
modification. It uses a nested command keyword style for specifying operations. There are some global
options that apply to all commands. These should be specified before any command. These can be
abbreviated to any unique initial substring (e.g. "--sp" for "--span").

--help Prints a brief usage message along with the current command hierarchy.

--spans
Specify the span (storage) configuration. This can be a device, a cache directory, or a
configuration file in the formof storage.config. In the latter case all devices listed in the
configuration file become active.

--volumes
Specify the volume configuration file in the format of volume.config. This is important primarily
for allocation operations where having the volume configuration is needed in order to properly
allocate storage in spans to specific volumes.

--write
Enable writing to storage devices. If this flag is not present then all storage will be opened
read only and no operation will write to any storage device. This makes "dry run" the default and
actual changes require specifying this flag.

--aos Specific the average object size in bytes. This is used in various computations. It is identical
to proxy.config.cache.min_average_object_size.

--input
Specify the input file or disk.

COMMANDS

list Search the spans for stripe data and display it. This is potentially slow as large sections of the
disk may need to be read to find the stripe headers.

stripes
Print internal stripe metadata.

clear Clear all the spans by writing updated span headers.

span Clears an specific span and it's stripes. The span to be cleared is specified via --device

dir_check
Perform diagnostics on the stripe directories.

full Full check of the directories.

freelist
Validate the directory free lists.

bucket_chain
Validate the bucket chains in the directories.

volumes
Compute storage allocation to stripes based on the volume configuration and print it.

alloc Allocate storage to stripes, updating the span and stripe headers.

free Allocate only free (unused) storage to volumes, updating span and stripe headers as needed.

init Initializes an uninitialized span and creates stripes on that span according to the volume and
storage configuration The span to be initialized can be passed via --input

find Determines the stripe in disk cache where the content corresponding to the provided URL may be
cached. This command takes an input file which lists all the urls for which the stripe assignment
needs to be determined.

EXAMPLES

       List the basic span data.:

          traffic_cache_tool --spans=/usr/local/etc/trafficserver/storage.config list

       Allocate unused storage space.:

          traffic_cache_tool \
             --spans=/usr/local/etc/trafficserver/storage.config \
             --volumes=/usr/local/etc/trafficserver/volume.config \
             alloc free

       Clear all spans.:

          traffic_cache_tool \
           --spans=/usr/local/etc/trafficserver/storage.config \
           --volumes=/usr/local/etc/trafficserver/volume.config \
           clear

       Clear a single span.:

          traffic_cache_tool \
          --span /opt/etc/trafficserver/storage.config \
          --volume /opt/etc/trafficserver/volume.config \
          clear span --device "/dev/sdb3" --write

       Initialize a new span.:

          traffic_cache_tool \
          --span /opt/etc/trafficserver/storage.config \
          --volume /opt/etc/trafficserver/volume.config \
          init --input "/dev/sdb3" --write

       Find Stripe Assignment.:

          traffic_cache_tool \
          --span /opt/etc/trafficserver/storage.config \
          --volume /opt/etc/trafficserver/volume.config \
          init --input "/home/user/urls.txt"
