View and manage cache reports for your S3 File Gateway

Cache reports list files that are currently in the local cache for a specific file share, according to filters and criteria that you specify. You can view a list of existing cache reports for a specific file share, check report progress and status, and delete reports you no longer need using the Amazon Storage Gateway API or the Storage Gateway console.

To manage cache reports using the API, see the following sections in the Storage Gateway API Reference:

To manage cache reports in the Storage Gateway console, use the following procedure.

To manage cache reports using the Storage Gateway console

  1. Open the Storage Gateway console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home/.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left side of the page, choose File shares, and then choose the file share for which you want to manage cache reports.

  3. On the Details page for the file share, choose the Cache reports tab. This tab lists the existing cache reports for the file share, and provides information about status, progress, and the object path where the report file is stored in Amazon S3.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • To view additional details for a specific report, such as the report ARN and associated tags, choose a report from the Report ID column.

    • To specify multiple reports to manage simultaneously, select the reports using the checkbox column.

  5. To manage one or more reports, choose one of the following from the Actions drop-down menu:

    • Delete cache report — This deletes the record of the cache report from the Storage Gateway database. Delete records for obsolete cache reports to make room for new reports. Each file share can have up to 10 existing cache reports at any time.

      Note

      Deleting the cache report record using this procedure does not delete the report file object from Amazon S3.

    • Cancel report — This cancels a report that is currently in-progress. Cancel an in-progress report if you made a mistake during report configuration, or if the report takes an unusually long time to complete. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.

      Note

      Completion times can vary significantly depending on the number of files in the cache. Typically, most reports complete within 5 minutes.

    The Storage Gateway console displays a message indicating the result of the cancellation or delete action.
