Short description

Extension implementing various tools for maintaining a CKAN-instance.

Long description

ckanext-ogdchcommands is a plugin/extension for CKAN that provides a collection of maintenance and operational command-line utilities for managing CKAN instances. It supports tasks such as cleaning up obsolete harvest jobs and sources, publishing scheduled datasets, removing stale or unused files and metadata, inspecting recent dataset activity, and verifying dataset indexing. The extension is intended to support stable operation, data quality and ongoing maintenance of CKAN-based open data platforms. Most commands have a dryrun-option for safe execution. Executing those jobs on a regular basis, according to the needs of the portal, can improve reliability and efficient operation.

Features

  • cleanup datastore entries for resources that no longer exist
  • cleanup resources that are marked as 'deleted'
  • cleanup filestore entries for resources that no longer exist
  • remove obsolete dataset metadata keys from package_extra and package_extra_revision e.g. after migrations
  • clean up harvest jobs and harvest objects by retaining only the most recent runs (optionally per source)
  • publish scheduled datasets
  • remove datasets, jobs and objects for harvest sources that have been inactive beyond a configurable threshold
  • check for datasets in CKAN that are not indexed in SOLR
  • reindex the SOLR search index, optionally targeting a specific dataset or only datasets missing from the index
  • inspect a specific metadata field across datasets and report its values together with the corresponding dataset names
  • display recent dataset activity, including user, dataset name and related change messages when available
