Script to recalculate all artifacts size

Release notes

Previously, due to statistics calculations, artifact sizes accumulated in the usage quota may report incorrect sizes Now, to ensure artifacts are reporting the most accurate size, we have added a backstage script in GitLab to automatically recalculate sizes. You may notice occasionally artifact statistics will fluctuate to 0 at times as this script is recalculating, although the statistics will return to normal shortly.

Problem to solve

Resolving bug #23327 (closed) requires multiple steps and this issue is for one of them to write a script that can forcefully recalculate all artifacts size and document how to use it. For example, a rake task that iterates over projects.

Intended users

• Presley (Product Designer)
• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Devon (DevOps Engineer)

User experience goal

Users should see the correct statistics in the artifacts usage quota page.

Proposal

Write a script that can forcefully recalculate all artifacts size

Further details

This issue is for step 4 in the following plan of action to fix artifact_size being broken (#23327 (closed)):

• Make build_artifacts_size use efficient counters - #238534 (closed)
• Enable efficient_counter_attribute feature flag and monitor it - #238535 (closed)
• Fix decrement of build_artifact_size when artifacts are deleted when a pipeline is deleted
• Write a script that can forcefully recalculate all artifacts size - #238536 (closed)
