Question on running console:archive for auto-archiving instead of archive.php

Support & Bugs
1

In archive.php I see the text:
Using this ‘archive.php’ script is no longer recommended.
Please use ‘/path/to/php $piwikHome/console core:archive " . implode(’ ‘, array_slice($_SERVER[‘argv’], 1)) . "’ instead.
To get help use ‘/path/to/php $piwikHome/console core:archive --help’

The console isn’t mentioned at How to Set up Auto-Archiving of Your Reports - Analytics Platform - Matomo though and I can’t find any detailed examples right off.

It looks I just need this command in my crontab:
/path/to/php54 /path/to/piwik/console core:archive --piwik-domain=[mydomainname.com/piwik/]

Does that look about right? Or should the piwik-server-url be in single quotes perhaps, or without brackets?

Also since I’m tracking multiple domains do I need to add --force-all-websites ?

Matt updated that page (How to Set up Auto-Archiving of Your Reports) yesterday…

You were not alone discovering, by luck, this new way of doing things…

Looks good!

You shouldn’t have to. But please apply this patch which fixes an issue: https://github.com/piwik/piwik/commit/22e8a7a3e1cdc324a2f40dc05e23e86ec333635c
