Cached Data in Text Files

    It seems that your plugins are using text files for storing temp data. We have scripts on the server monitoring for changes in the directories which doesn’t usually happen on a regular basis in wordpress. As a result I’m now getting alerts of changes in the directory every few minutes.

    Is there a reason you can’t store this temp data in the DATABASE? I assume the database changes all the time which is why I’m not monitoring that as closely.

    Is there an alternative for these text files?

    Is there a naming scheme that is consistent so that I can at least write a rule to ignore your plugins changes?

    Hi, can you describe better which files are generated? The only file we generate are the thumbnails inside the uploads folder and the logs inside the logs folder. We shouldn’t generate other files.

    geo-2019-05-4dcbb316.txt and bounce-2019-05-4dcbb316.txt. I suppose I could key off of “geo-” and “bouce-“. It just seems like it would be more efficient to store this in the database rather than a text file.

    Ho, those are logs, they cannot be stored into the database it would fill up shortly. I’ll check while if the logging is disabled they write into the log files.
