Where to technically retrieve the "cache statistics"?

Question

Our Confluence environment (onPrem, Windows, 6.14.2) is getting more and more used. By time, we are experiencing performance issues, e.g. cause caches were sized too small. This could manually be checked within the "Cache Statistics" in the General Configuration Web UI.

In order to not step into this issue I want to have these KPIs monitored, so pro-active alerts "take care, cache for Content objects needs to be increased" can be send out.

For this to be realized, I need a way how to access those KPIs, e.g. in the database or on the file system. So far, I was not able to determine any place where to find them.
I checked the related cachecontents.jsp, but only refers to direct calls of the Java classes.

Do you know where those KPIs can be accessed?

Sara, hi

thanks for your feedback. Already stumbled upon this article. I checked out the named file and the surrounding, but unfortunately only the defined limits can be retrieved especially from cache-settings-overrides.properties, but not the current values on the actual usage of the cache.

Hi,

This may give some hint if you haven't gone through already.
