# Cache operations

> Manage Cache origin settings, purge, key rotation, server state and analytics.

After Cache is enabled for a registered server, use the Cache dashboard to monitor request behavior and manage operational controls.

## Cache tabs

| Tab           | Use it for                                                                                                      |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Servers**   | Enable Cache for registered servers and open server settings.                                                   |
| **Analytics** | Review request volume, hit ratio, served bandwidth, latency and origin errors.                                  |
| **Settings**  | Copy the cache URL, update origin, purge cache, rotate the adhesive key, disable Cache or delete configuration. |

## Purge cache

Use purge when resources change and players need the latest files.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open settings">
    In **Cache**, open the **Settings** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the server">
    Choose the Cache-enabled server.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Purge">
    Click **Purge** under **Purge cache**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The purge action increments the cache version for the selected server.

## Rotate the adhesive key

Rotate the key if the previous `adhesive_cdnKey` was lost or should no longer be trusted.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open settings">
    Open **Cache** > **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Rotate">
    Click **Rotate** under **Adhesive key**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the new block">
    Copy the generated `server.cfg` block.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update your server">
    Replace the old key in `server.cfg` and restart or reload your server.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  A rotated key must be copied immediately. The dashboard does not show existing secrets again.
</Warning>

## Disable or delete Cache

Use **Disable Cache** when you want to pause Cache for a server without removing the saved configuration.

Use **Delete Cache configuration** when you want to remove Cache settings for that server. The registered server remains in your account and can be enabled again later.

## Analytics

Cache analytics can show:

* Total requests.
* HIT and MISS ratio.
* Bandwidth served by Cache.
* Origin bandwidth saved.
* Average latency.
* Origin errors.
* Top file extensions and origin status rows.

If analytics are empty, generate traffic through the configured cache URL and check that the selected server has active Cache configuration.

A sustained rise in origin errors usually means FiveMesh cannot reach your origin. See [players get download errors while the server runs fine](/reference/troubleshooting#players-get-download-errors-while-the-server-runs-fine).
