Testing Instructions:
Hide

Run the attached test script which generate a bunch of test dashboards so we can reset them (run it for as long as you want, you can kill it at any point):

php MDL-70536-dashboard-generator.php

Open a database shell and run the following statement and verify the result is ~10000 (Exact number is not important).

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mdl_my_pages;

Run the new cli script

php admin/cli/dashboard_reset.php

Confirm it shows help.

Actually run it now:

php admin/cli/dashboard_reset.php -e

Confirm you get a nice progress bar showing progress

In the DB shell, run the same SELECT again

Confirm the value is ~10,000 smaller (there may be other pages not touched in this table).

Repeat steps 1-2.

Run the script again (step 5), but this time in non ttl mode:

php admin/cli/dashboard_reset.php -e | cat -v

Confirm you still get a simpler but dynamic progress bar

Repeat steps 7-8.

Description

Our moodle instance has 100,000+ users. It is not possible to reset dashboards from the GUI. This should be a cli script. We just upgraded to 3.9. It has been years since we have ever seen the GUI script to reset dashboards run to completion (it always times out), but it is especially a problem now with the update to 3.9 and all the great new dashboard blocks.
