Ian, Unfortunately, I’ve no idea… I guess it’s somewhere in a default directory. It was not in ../webapps/geoserver/data/temp/ (which I defined for GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR and it works like a charm even after Tomcat restart)
Moreover, I think (I hope so actually…) that it’s related to a problem which causes our server to « hang » in some way : after playing with our web app and fetching lots of tiles (to populate the cache with 5 layers), it looked like the server didn’t respond anymore, even to simple pings. Tough the server still runs « normally », I had to ping my machine from the server to get the web app back online. This happened once or twice a day. Maybe someone did have the same issue, that’s just for info and has maybe nothing to do with GeoWebCache.

Do you mean an environnement variable or a variable you set in web.xml file of Geoserver in Tomcat /var/lib/tomact8/webapps/geoserver directory ? As you can see, I don’t master everything… I’ve just tried the « external database » (PostgreSQL) solution of Geoserver and the cached tiles remain now in database even after a Tomcat restart. Now, I’m not sure it’s the best solution for speed, it looks a bit slower that the default behaviour. ---------------------------------- To Andrea : There’s indeed a gwc subfolder but I can’t see anything related to cached tiles : only .xml and .bak files : geowebcache.xml geowebcache-diskquota.xml geowebcache-diskquota-jdbc.xml (I’ve just tried the « external database » option , which works fine even after a tomcat restart, cached tiles remain in database) And a series of geowebcache_2019_XX_XXTXXXXXX.bak files (actually , these are xml files) Benoît DEGRÈVE Risques sous-sols et cartographie Bachelier en gestion de données et cartographie De : Andrea Aime [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Envoyé : jeudi 18 avril 2019 10:53 À : Ian Turton Cc : DEGRÈVE Benoît; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Objet : Re: [Geoserver-users] Geowebcache empty after Tomcat restart and/or server reboot Hi Ian, but if this is an integrated GWC inside GeoServer, the tiles should go in the GeoServer data directory, gwc subfolder, and not in the tomcat temp... Am I missing something?

I made several WMS cascades for several layers and used Geoserver GWC advantages for tile rendering improvements, which works fine, except that : If I restart Tomcat and/or reboot the physical server, all tiles disappear... If I restart Geoserver only (via Tomcat web UI), all is fine, tiles are still there and ready to be served to web clients 1) Disk space limit is activated (100GB, default for all other parameters) 2) For layers, I didn’t change anything to tile cache parameters except choosing PNG for image format and adding 2 gridsets I can see cache expiration strategy parameters and wonder if that’s the root cause of my problem or not.
