Investigate a growing CoreProtect consumer queue without discarding it
Applies to: CoreProtect; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .
A growing write queue can explain why recent actions do not appear in lookups yet. Preserve queued evidence and inspect database performance before pausing processing or restarting the server.
Follow the procedure
- Capture
/co statusand the relevant startup or database error messages. Record the time so you can compare queue behaviour against the server’s player count and workload. - Check disk space and database availability through the panel or database administrator. A connection failure, full disk and slow storage require different corrections.
- Repeat the supported status observation after a short interval. Determine whether the queue is shrinking, stable or growing rather than relying on one large number.
- Read the
/co consumerdocumentation before touching it. It is a console control that pauses or resumes processing; running it blindly can worsen an existing backlog. - Reduce avoidable high-volume work such as a planned mass edit while investigating. Keep ordinary logging enabled and ask support to assess persistent database errors.
- After the underlying issue is corrected, observe the queue draining and query a known recent disposable block action. Record how long it takes to become searchable.
Check the result
The backlog should trend downward and newly recorded test actions should become visible after processing catches up. An enabled plugin with delayed lookups is not the same as lost evidence. Confirm both storage health and the recent test record before declaring recovery complete.
If the result is wrong
If processing remains stalled, preserve logs and request database-specific support before restarting or changing backends. Do not delete database files, discard queued records or repeatedly toggle the consumer. Restore a paused consumer only through the documented control once you know its current state.
