What this solution does
The module provides automatic cache cleaning for systems based on 1C-Bitrix, preventing site failures caused by disk space exhaustion. It addresses the issue of uncontrolled cache growth, which can lead to resource depletion on the hosting server and service disruptions.
The module removes outdated data at a configurable interval, allowing control over cache size and preventing the server from running out of available space. Cleaning is performed via the platform API, which is the safe and recommended approach compared to manual physical deletion of cache folders.
Features include setting cleaning intervals: daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Users can select specific cache types to clear: component auto-caching, managed tagged cache, composite site cache, stack cache, and resized images. Integration with the cron scheduler is provided to execute the physical deletion of flagged cache folders.
The number of folders deleted per iteration is adjustable, allowing control over input/output load in high-load environments, as well as on slow file systems or hard drives.
The module does not address the root cause of cache growth; identifying and resolving this issue requires separate analysis. It can be used as a preventive measure even when no site problems are present.
