The Missing Attachment Scanner performs a background scan on all the attachment files in all projects.
By identifying the missing attachments, it helps to
prevent (unknown) data loss
facilitate data recovery with earlier discovery
identify any underlying issues
reduce the errors logged in Jira backend
fix broken attachments in the Jira issues
Key Functionalities
Admins can schedule the scanning during off-peak hours
A rescan can also be triggered when required.
With the report on missing attachments, admins can try to reinstate back the missing files or delete the corresponding database records.
Missing Attachment Scanner can be accessed from the admin sidebar or via keyboard shortcut g + g.
