# Background Updates API
|
||
|
|
||
|
This API allows a server administrator to manage the background updates being
|
||
|
run against the database.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Status
|
||
|
|
||
|
This API gets the current status of the background updates.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
The API is:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
GET /_synapse/admin/v1/background_updates/status
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returning:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```json
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
"enabled": true,
|
||
|
"current_updates": {
|
||
|
"<db_name>": {
|
||
|
"name": "<background_update_name>",
|
||
|
"total_item_count": 50,
|
||
|
"total_duration_ms": 10000.0,
|
||
|
"average_items_per_ms": 2.2,
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
`enabled` whether the background updates are enabled or disabled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
`db_name` the database name (usually Synapse is configured with a single database named 'master').
|
||
|
|
||
|
For each update:
|
||
|
|
||
|
`name` the name of the update.
|
||
|
`total_item_count` total number of "items" processed (the meaning of 'items' depends on the update in question).
|
||
|
`total_duration_ms` how long the background process has been running, not including time spent sleeping.
|
||
|
`average_items_per_ms` how many items are processed per millisecond based on an exponential average.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Enabled
|
||
|
|
||
|
This API allow pausing background updates.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Background updates should *not* be paused for significant periods of time, as
|
||
|
this can affect the performance of Synapse.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*Note*: This won't persist over restarts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*Note*: This won't cancel any update query that is currently running. This is
|
||
|
usually fine since most queries are short lived, except for `CREATE INDEX`
|
||
|
background updates which won't be cancelled once started.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
The API is:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/background_updates/enabled
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
with the following body:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```json
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
"enabled": false
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
`enabled` sets whether the background updates are enabled or disabled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The API returns the `enabled` param.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```json
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
"enabled": false
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
There is also a `GET` version which returns the `enabled` state.
