Maintenance Tasks

Pimcore offers you to run scheduled maintenance tasks. This allows you to periodically do stuff like cleanups.

Register a new Maintenance Task

To register a new Maintenance Task, create a new class and implement the interface Pimcore\Maintenance\TaskInterface. Register your class to the symfony container with the tag pimcore.maintenance.task and a type attribute:

AppBundle\Maintenance\MyMaintenanceTask:
    tags:
        - { name: pimcore.maintenance.task, type: my_maintenance_task }

Pimcore will then call your maintenance task on the maintenance cron job you have to configure. You will have to take care about timing operations inside the Task yourself.
