ckanext-selfinfo
This extension is built to represent a basic information about the running CKAN Application accessible only to admins.
CKAN should be configured to be able to connect to Redis as it heavily relies on it for storage.
On CKAN admin page /ckan-admin/selfinfo can see a big variety of information such as System Info, RAM, disk Usage, CKAN Errors, GIT Info and more.
Check full documentation for more information.

ckan.selfinfo.actions_prefixconfiguration option to add custom prefixes to all actions for enhanced security through obscurity - Updated Documentation - Comprehensive documentation updates with better examples and configuration guides
Breaking Changes
Category Configuration Changes
Version 2 changes the default behavior for categories. Previously, all categories were enabled by default. Now you must explicitly configure which categories to use:
- Selfinfo: Only
platform_infois enabled by default, whilestatus_showwas removed from the list and added by default. - Selftools: Only
solris enabled by default
Upgrading from Version 1 to Version 2
When upgrading from version 1.x to 2.x, you must explicitly configure your categories in your CKAN configuration file:
For Selfinfo, add to your .ini file:
# Enable all categories (v1 behavior)
ckan.selfinfo.categories_list = python_modules platform_info ram_usage disk_usage git_info freeze errors actions auth_actions blueprints helpers status_show ckan_queues ckan_solr_schema ckan_cli_commands
# Or enable only specific categories you need
ckan.selfinfo.categories_list = platform_info ram_usage disk_usage errors
For Selftools, add to your .ini file:
# Enable all tools (v1 behavior)
ckan.selftools.categories = solr db redis config model datastore
# Or enable only specific tools you need
ckan.selftools.categories = solr db redis
Note: If you don't specify these configurations, only the default categories will be available, which may result in missing functionality you previously relied on.
See the full documentation for detailed configuration options.
