Troubleshooting & FAQ (2)

Troubleshooting
How to clean up orphaned banner image files from the storage folder?

Use the console command: php scripts/console delete-orphan-images. This deletes orphan image files and HTML5 banner folders that are no longer referenced by any banner. Run this periodically to reclaim storage space.

Troubleshooting
How to reduce Revive Adserver database size by aggregating old statistics to daily or monthly?

Use the condense-stats console command to condense older statistics into daily or monthly sums. For example, to keep daily data for the last 12 months and monthly data after that, run:
scripts/console condense-stats --daily-range=12 --monthly-range=24
This reduces the number of rows in the summary tables, speeding up reports and reducing backup size. Note: This is an initial preview feature, available in recent Revive Adserver versions.
