Data Keeper

Data Keeper shows how much your Craft site stores and how fast it grows: database, saved versions, change records, deleted elements, backups, logs and files. Retention rules remove what is too old – but only after you switch them on and confirm a run.

Store only what you need. The less a site keeps, the less can leak, the smaller backups get, and the shorter the list of retention periods in your privacy policy.

What you get

• Overview – a card per key figure with a level (OK, Keep an eye on it, Act now) and the change since the last measurement, the largest database tables, the folders and the course over the months.
• Measuring on request – from the control panel, the console or the queue. The measurements live in one small file in storage/, not in your database.
• Retention cleanup, opt-in – rules for saved versions, database backups, log files, Craft’s change records and any other table with a date column. Every rule is off by default.
• See before you delete – the Cleanup page shows what every rule would remove. Removing needs a confirmation, runs in the queue and is refused if the numbers changed since you looked.
• Clear saved versions per entry – keep the newest N, optionally the very first one, optionally only by age.
• Notifications – as a notice in the control panel, by e-mail or webhook, and at a status endpoint for monitoring tools.
• For your privacy policy – the retention periods of all active rules, ready to copy.
• Console commands, a queue job, permissions. Interface in English, German, French and Italian.
