Parse Apache log that was configured to capture extra Moodle & timings information. To configure it for your Apache server:
Add new LogFormat to apache2.conf:
LogFormat "H: %v U: %{MOODLEUSER}n T: %Ts / %Dµs | %{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" moodle_log
Add new log in your virtual host configuration:
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/moodle.log moodle_log
You can then parse resulting moodle.log file with moosh:
moosh apache-parse-extendedlog /var/log/apache2/moodle.log
Looks for missing files in apache log when moodle files are accessed and reports them
Example 1. Parse file apache.log
and search for missing files
moosh apache-parse-missing-files apache.log
Parse log file, and construct query with performance log.
Example 1.
moosh apache-parse-perflog apache.log

Example 1: Enable self enrolment on a course without an enrolment key
moosh course-enableselfenrol 3
Example 2: Enable self enrolment on a course with an enrolment key
moosh course-enableselfenrol --key "an example enrolment key" 3
Lists courses that match your search criteria. As an argument you can provide an SQL fragment,
that is simply injected after WHERE clause when searching for courses.
All cli argument(s) will be concateneted together, so there is no need to
quote SQL into single argument. But on the other hand, you need to escape quotes, so they are not eaten by your shell.
Run command with global "-v" option to see the actual SQL used for search (moosh -v course-list
).
There are also quite a few options that modify the behaviour - see moosh course-list --help
for complete list.
Example 1: List all courses with full name containing phrase 'student'
moosh course-list "fullname like '%student%'"
Example 2: List above but as separate arguments - quotes are escaped
moosh course-list fullname like \'%student%\'
Example 3: List only empty courses from category 1
moosh course-list -c 1 -e yes
Reset course by ID. With -s or --settings option you can provide any supported setting for the restore. The value for -s option is a string with each setting in format key=value separated by space. This means you'll need to quote this string with double or single quotes when running the command. unenrol_users setting requires an array as a value - put at least one comma character (,) as a value to make moosh convert that into an array. Example:
moosh course-reset -s "reset_forum_all=1 reset_data=0 unenrol_users=6," 17
Add -n or --no-action to display all reset setting that would be used on course restore. When -n is used, no action is actually performed.
All posible backup settings I've found in Moodle 2.9 are listed below. Most of them is set to eiher 0 or 1.
Example 1: Reset course with id=17 using default settings.
moosh course-reset 17
Example 2: Show default settings when resetting course id=17
moosh course-reset -n 17
Example 3: Set unenrolment of participants with role id 5 and 6, and reset course with id=17
moosh course-reset -s "unenrol_users=5,6" 17
Restore course from path/to/backup.mbz to category or existig course.
Example 1: Restore backup.mbz into category with id=1

Example 2: Restore backup.mbz into existing course with id=3
moosh course-restore -e backup.mbz 3
Unerol user(s) from a course id provided. First argument is a course ID then list of users.

moosh file-delete 10 20 30
Example 2: Remove all files with size greater than 100 bytes
moosh file-list -i 'filesize>1000' | moosh file-delete -s
Example 3: Flush trashcan
moosh file-delete --flush
Example 4: Remove all automated backups and reclaim the space
moosh file-list -i 'component="backup" AND filearea="automated"' | moosh file-delete -s
moosh file-delete --flush
Search and list files from mdl_files table. The argument should be a valid SQL WHERE statement. Interesting columns of possible search criterias are: contextid, component, filearea, itemid, filepath, filename, userid, filesize, mimetype, status, timecreated, timemodified.
You can also use some special values:
The output will contain some defaults or nearly all possible file information if "-a|--all" flag is provided. The meaning of the flags column is (in order):
With "-i" option only IDs are returned. This can be used when pipe-ing into other file-related commands.
Use the -m option to list files that exsist on the {files} DB table but are missing from the file system, and add -r option to remove them from the {file} DB table.
Example 1: Show all legacy files for a course, which context id is 15
moosh file-list "contextid=15 AND component='course' AND filearea='legacy'"
Example 2: Display full information on file with ID 17
moosh file-list -a id=162
Example 3: Show all files from course 6
moosh file-list course=6
Example 4: Super-combo. Get all course files and tar/bzip2 them up.

moosh file-path da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
Example 2: Show paths to files with ID bewteen 100 and 200
moosh file-list -i 'id>100 AND id<200' | moosh file-path -s
Example 3: Like above but with no duplicates and show path relative to data root (-r)
moosh file-list -r -i 'id>100 AND id<200' | moosh file-path -s | sort | uniq

moosh file-upload --filepath=drop --filename=myfile.txt file.txt
Enable/disable global filter, equivalent to admin/filters.php settings page. First argument is a filter name without filter_ prefix. Second argument is a state, use On = 1 , Off/but available per course = -1 , Off = -9999 .
Example 1: Disable multimedia filter completely.
moosh filter-set mediaplugin -9999
