Monitoring Storage

The JFrog Unified Platform allows you to monitor various statistics related to the amount of storage that repositories occupy in your system. You can view the number of artifacts and physical files as well as the amount of space that they occupy.

To monitor usage of storage in your system, in the Administration module, go to Monitoring > Storage.

📘
Retrieving the Storage Summary Details
By default, the storage summary is calculated every hour and saved in cache. This is useful for large Artifactory instances with many repositories and artifacts.
Administrators in Self-Managed instances can configure the time and frequency by setting the artifactory.update.storage.summary.cron property with a cron expression in the artifactory.system.properties file.
For example: artifactory.update.storage.summary.cron = "0 0/30 * * * ?", will set the frequency to every 30 minutes.
If the default NULL value is used, a random minute will be selected and the job will run every hour, beginning on that minute.
To retrieve the latest storage summary details, use the Refresh button from the UI or the Refresh Storage Summary Info REST API.

Binaries

The Binaries table provides information on the number of files in your system and the amount of physical and virtual storage that they occupy.

Field	Description
Binaries Size	The amount of physical storage occupied by the binaries in your system.
Binaries Count	The total number of physical binaries stored in your system.
Artifacts Size	The amount of physical storage that would be occupied if each artifact was a physical binary (not just a link).
Artifacts Count	The total number of artifacts stored in the system.
Optimization	The ratio of Binaries Size to Artifacts Size. This reflects how much the usage of storage in your system has been reduced by Artifactory
Items Count	The total number of items (both files and folders) in your system.

Monitor the File Store

Your system stores binaries as defined in your storage configuration file.

This section provides information on where your binaries are stored and the amount of storage space they are using.

Field	Description
Storage Type	The type of storage used (e.g. "File system").
Storage Directory	If Storage Type is "filesystem", then this is the path to the physical file store. If Storage Type is "fullDb", then this is the path to the directory that caches binaries when they are extracted from the database.
Usage	Displays the amount of storage used out of the total available. Storage space warning and limit thresholds set for your system are also displayed.

Field

Description

Storage Type

The type of storage used (e.g. "File system").

Storage Directory

If Storage Type is "filesystem", then this is the path to the physical file store.

If Storage Type is "fullDb", then this is the path to the directory that caches binaries when they are extracted from the database.

Usage

Displays the amount of storage used out of the total available.

Storage space warning and limit thresholds set for your system are also displayed.

Monitor Repositories

The Repositories section provides detailed information about the storage used by each repository in your system.

Field	Description
Repository Key	The repository id.
Repository Type	Indicates if this is a local repository, a remote repository cache, or a virtual repository.
Package Type	The repository's package type.
Percentage	The percentage of the total available space occupied by this repository.
Artifacts Size	The amount of space used by artifacts in this repository. Similar to the total export size (including non-unique artifact references).
Files	The total number of files in this repository.
Folders	The total number of folders in this repository.
Items	The total number of items (folders and files) in this repository.
