Triggering core:archive without logging into server?

General questions
1

We have ~1000 sites and I’m not sure that the cron-based archiving is working. Until I get that figured out, is there a way to trigger archive generation without SSH-ing into the server?

Like is there an API endpoint or a URL I can use?

The following is the command I run on the server:
php /var/www/html/matomo/console core:archive --force-all-periods --force-idsites {site_id}

Hi,

You can also run your cronjob via this URL:

But keep in mind that this is affected by the maximum runtime in your PHP config.

We have a dedicated server so I’ll see if I can set this up. Thank you for the response.
