Obtaining statistics about APCu usage

You can get APCu analytics for today (compared with yesterday). To do that, use the wp apcu analytics command.

By default, the outputted format is a simple table. If you want to customize the format, just use --format=<format>. Note if you choose json or yaml as format, the output will contain full data and metadata for the current day.

Examples

To display APCu analytics, type the following command:

pierre@dev:~$ wp apcu analytics
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+-------+--------+-----------+
| kpi          | description                                   | value | ratio  | variation |
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+-------+--------+-----------+
| Hits         | Successful calls to the cache.                | 11K   | 81.51% | +0.68%    |
| Free memory  | Free memory available for APCu.               | 32MB  | 99.53% | +0.18%    |
| Keys         | Keys allocated by APCu.                       | 152   | 3.7%   | -0.38%    |
| Small blocks | Used memory small blocks (size < 5K).         | 29    | 0.38%  | +90.31%   |
| Availability | Extrapolated availability time over 24 hours. | 24 hr | 100%   | 0%        |
| Objects      | Objects currently present in cache.           | 152   | -      | -0.38%    |
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+-------+--------+-----------+

Getting APCu Manager status

To get detailed status and operation mode, use the wp apcu status command.

Note this command may tell you APCu is not activated for command-line even if it's available for WordPress itself. It is due to the fact that PHP configuration is often different between command-line and web server.

Nevertheless, if APCu is available for WordPress, other APCu Manager commands are operational.

Managing main settings

To toggle on/off main settings, use wp apcu settings <enable|disable> <object-caching|gc|analytics|metrics>.

If you try to disable a setting, wp-cli will ask you to confirm. To force answer to yes without prompting, just use --yes.

Available settings

• object-caching: WordPress object caching feature
• gc: garbage collection feature
• analytics: analytics feature
• metrics: metrics collation

Example

To disable garbage collection without confirmation prompt, type the following command:

pierre@dev:~$ wp apcu settings disable gc --yes
Success: garbage collection is now deactivated.

Misc flags

For most commands, APCu Manager lets you use the following flags:

• --yes: automatically answer "yes" when a question is prompted during the command execution.
• --stdout: outputs a clean STDOUT string so you can pipe or store result of command execution.

It's not mandatory to use --stdout when using --format=count or --format=ids: in such cases --stdout is assumed.

Note APCu Manager sets exit code so you can use $? to write scripts.
To know the meaning of APCu Manager exit codes, just use the command wp apcu exitcode list.
