# Background Updates API
This API allows a server administrator to manage the background updates being
run against the database.
## Status
This API gets the current status of the background updates.
The API is:
```
GET /_synapse/admin/v1/background_updates/status
```
Returning:
```json
{
"enabled": true,
"current_updates": {
"<db_name>": {
"name": "<background_update_name>",
"total_item_count": 50,
"total_duration_ms": 10000.0,
"average_items_per_ms": 2.2,
},
}
}
```
`enabled` whether the background updates are enabled or disabled.
`db_name` the database name (usually Synapse is configured with a single database named 'master').
For each update:
`name` the name of the update.
`total_item_count` total number of "items" processed (the meaning of 'items' depends on the update in question).
`total_duration_ms` how long the background process has been running, not including time spent sleeping.
`average_items_per_ms` how many items are processed per millisecond based on an exponential average.
## Enabled
This API allow pausing background updates.
Background updates should *not* be paused for significant periods of time, as
this can affect the performance of Synapse.
*Note*: This won't persist over restarts.
*Note*: This won't cancel any update query that is currently running. This is
usually fine since most queries are short lived, except for `CREATE INDEX`
background updates which won't be cancelled once started.
The API is:
```
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/background_updates/enabled
```
with the following body:
```json
{
"enabled": false
}
```
`enabled` sets whether the background updates are enabled or disabled.
The API returns the `enabled` param.
```json
{
"enabled": false
}
```
There is also a `GET` version which returns the `enabled` state.
