The custom dictionary cache is only available in the Real-Time Virtual Appliance.
When the Real-Time Virtual Appliance is started for the first time the cache will be empty. The administration allows to retrieve cache usage data and to purge the cache contents.
Cache usage reports the total amount of bytes and the used amount of bytes in the cache.
In order to retrieve usage stats, use a GET request to the /v1/management/cache
endpoint:
curl -L -X GET http://${APPLIANCE_HOST}:8080/v1/management/cache \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
| jq
Here is an example response:
{
"total_bytes": "105188352",
"used_bytes": "192512"
}
It is possible to remove all contents in the cache.
In order to purge the cache contents, use a DELETE request to the /v1/management/cache
endpoint:
curl -L -X DELETE http://${APPLIANCE_HOST}:8080/v1/management/cache \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
| jq
Here is an example response:
{
"confirmation": "Custom dictionary cache purged successfully",
"usage": {
"total_bytes": "105188352",
"used_bytes": "14336"
}
}
