cron question

    Hello,

    I hope you are well.

    I have shifted from old engine to the cloud one. However I wanted to ask you about the cron requests. Since I have shifted to the cloud, do I need these 2 crons that are running regulalry on my application?

    1. blc_schedule_sync_scan_results Tomorrow at 1:22 am Twice Daily WPMUDEV_BLC\App\Scheduled_Events\Sync_Scan_Results\Controller->process_scheduled_event()
    2. icwp-wpsf-all-scans Tomorrow at 1:33 am1 per dayFernleafSystems\Wordpress\Plugin\Shield\Modules\HackGuard\Scan\ScansController->runCron()

    Secondly, the cloud scanner scans for 3 hours then stops. Is there any way to find out how many links it found or how many pages it scanned so I know how many pages/links were not scanned. Any chance of increasing this limit as well?

    Warm regards,

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @hbk747

    I hope you are doing well today.

    When scanning a very large site with a huge number of links, the BLC scan will time out if it hits its 3-hour scan limit. We have plans to increase that limit in the future and work on improvements in that matter, but there is no ETA yet.

    To get more details about your scan, please email us at: [email protected]

    When it comes to blc_schedule_sync_scan_results cron job, I pinged our BLC Team to get more details on that matter for you. We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.

    For icwp-wpsf-all-scans cron job, it look this comes from other 3rd party plugin, not BLC.

    Hi again @hbk747

    I got some details from our BLC Team and when it comes to blc_schedule_sync_scan_results that cron runs twice a day. It’s not really necessary, as it checks if there’s any update that was missed regarding schedules scan results.

    Kind Regards,
    Kris

    Thanks. I have another issue.

    1) Not sure if there was an update or what but when I try to connect to my wpmudev account via the new cloud engine, it stays on the connecting process and it does not connect.

    2) Secondly, I noticed that whenever I connected successfully to the cloud previously, and came back after a while, the old local engine would be active and I would have to reconnect to the new one. My team (via different wordpress accounts but same wpmudev account) faced the same problem.

    3) Lastly, if the cloud engine is active the local engine should not be running the broken link scans on my server, correct? I want to stay logged in/connected to the cloud engine mainly to avoid any broken link background scans being run on my server. Or should I turn off the scanning feature (local) from the settings and just connect to the new cloud.

    4) Found these 2 crons running as well. Can they be switched off safely if I am using cloud.

    blc_cron_email_notifications

    blc_cron_database_maintenance

    Hello @hbk747,

    I hope things are going well for you.

    1) Not sure if there was an update or what but when I try to connect to my wpmudev account via the new cloud engine, it stays on the connecting process and it does not connect.

    I checked this domain http://www.paradigmshift.com.pk, which shows a successful connection, and HUB also displays the site. If you’re checking a different domain, please share it.

    2) Secondly, I noticed that whenever I connected successfully to the cloud previously, and came back after a while, the old local engine would be active and I would have to reconnect to the new one. My team (via different wordpress accounts but same wpmudev account) faced the same problem.

    If I understand correctly, you want to disconnect from first account and connect the new account to the BLC Cloud, right?

    3) Lastly, if the cloud engine is active the local engine should not be running the broken link scans on my server, correct? I want to stay logged in/connected to the cloud engine mainly to avoid any broken link background scans being run on my server. Or should I turn off the scanning feature (local) from the settings and just connect to the new cloud.

    When we enable the Cloud Engine, the BLC Cloud API engine takes over to crawl the site, which also doesn’t use any hosting server resources. Once the Cloud Engine is enabled, the local engine automatically stops working.

    4) Found these 2 crons running as well. Can they be switched off safely if I am using cloud.

    These two require cron jobs. Let me explain:
    — blc_cron_email_notifications: Useful if email notifications are enabled on the site. It triggers and informs users about scheduled broken link checks.

    — blc_cron_database_maintenance: keeps the plugin’s own link database consistent and trimmed, so it doesn’t grow endlessly.
