Rachel Howard edited this page Jan 26, 2024 · 2 revisions

Cache Manager is a web-based software tool developed by MetaArchive and LOCKSS to monitor the network.  It queries LOCKSS caches about their status and presents the information in a web based user interface. It incorporates command line report generators. 

Cache Manager is available at: http://monitor.metaarchive.org/

Background

  • Cache Manager is a Ruby application built by Monika Mevenkamp at Emory University/Educopia.
  • The software lives in a private GitHub repository
  • Some of the tool's functionality overlaps with Conspectus

Status

  • Cache Manager is one of the only places where you can find that replications have been made, because Conspectus isn't currently showing them.
  • Cache Manager reports on all the AUs in the network; a lot of the functionality has degraded over time, but the information is still up-to-date.
  • Cache Manager is still communicating with caches via the SOAP API.  It is aware of new ingests of AUs.  Not a source of truth, but helpful as a sanity check. Not doing all it was intended to do, but still helpful.
