Huge Database table “cerber_files”

    Hello,

    I am using WP-Cerber free version plugin now sinds beginning 2020 on a fresh installed wordpress site.
    Every month I do a Site Integrity Full Scan. The load is about 20,000 rows per scan in the DB table “wp_cerber_files”.
    Each Scan the table is growing (up to 80,000 rows and more).
    The maintenance tasks (hourly 1, hourly 2 and daily) are performing.
    It seems this table is never optimized.

    I did the following:
    * empty the table manually
    * perform a Repair Cerber’s Tables

    Nothing helps.

    By doing scans, the table is still growing.

    It seems there is a fault in the plugin.

    I am looking forward to a solution.

    Best regards,
    Staf

    Hi! That table is maintained in a fully automatic mode. Try to run this SQL statement:

    SELECT DISTINCT scan_id FROM wp_cerber_files

    You have to see no more than 5 rows.

    Hi Gioni,

    Thank you for your reply and apologies for the late reply.
    I ran the SQL statement, and see 5 rows then.
    But when I go back to the table, I see 74021 rows now.
    Table size 36,6 MIB.

    In my feeling this is not OK. My database is growing to much.

    Thank you for your review.

    Best Regards,
    Staf

    Your table is OK. You need to exclude it from a backup. That’s all.

    Mine is 26 Mo. It is the biggest size in my database among all plugins. How is this possible ?
