Persistent storage allows Apprise to cache re-occurring actions optionaly to disk. This can greatly reduce the overhead used to send a notification.
There are 3 options Apprise can operate using this:
1. `AUTO`: Flush any gathered data for persistent storage on demand. This option is incredibly light weight. This is the default behavior for all CLI usage. Content can be manually flushed to disk using this option as well should a developer choose to do so. The CLI uses this option by default and only writes anything accumulated to disk after all of it's notifications have completed.
1. `FLUSH`: Flushes any gathered data for persistent storage as often as it is acquired.
1. `MEMORY`: Only store information in memory, never write to disk. This is the option one would set if they simply wish to disable Persistent Storage entirely. By default this is the mode used by the API and is at the developers discretion to enable one of the other options.
There are 3 Persistent Storage operational states Apprise can operate using:
1. `auto`: Flush gathered cache information to the filesystem on demand. This option is incredibly light weight. This is the default behavior for all CLI usage.
* Developers who choose to use this operational mode can also force cached information manually if they choose.
* The CLI will use this operational mode by default.
1. `flush`: Flushes any cache information to the filesystem during every transaction.
1. `memory`: Effectively disable Persistent Storage. Any caching of data required by each plugin used is done in memory. Apprise effectively operates as it always did before peristent storage was available. This setting ensures no content is every written to disk.
* By default this is the mode Apprise will operate under for those developing with it unless they configure it to otherwise operate as `auto` or `flush`. This is done through the `AppriseAsset()` object and is explained further on in this documentation.
## CLI Persistent Storage Commands
Persistent storage is set to `AUTO` mode by default.
Specifying the keyword `storage` will assume that all subseqent calls are related to the storage subsection of Apprise.
You can provide the keyword `storage` on your CLI call to see the persistent storage options available to you.
```bash

The states are:
The (persistent storage) cache states are:
- `unused`: This plugin has not commited anything to disk for reuse/cache purposes
- `active`: This plugin has written content to disk. Or at the very least, it has prepared a persistent storage location it can write into.
- `stale`: The system detected a location where a URL may have possibly written to in the past, but there is nothing linking to it using the URLs provided. It is likely wasting space or is no longer of any use.
You can use this information to filter your results by specifying _URL ID_ values after your command. For example:
You can use this information to filter your results by specifying _URL ID_ (UID) values after your command. For example:

```
When using the CLI, Persistent storage is set to the operational mode of `auto` by default, you can change this by providing `--storage-mode=` (`-SM`) during your calls. If you want to ensure it's always set to a value of your choice.
For more information on persistent storage, [visit here](https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/persistent_storage).
## API Persistent Storage Commands
By default, no persistent storage is set to be in `MEMORY` mode for those building from within the Apprise API.
It's at the developers discretion to enable it. But should you choose to do so, it's as easy as including the information in the `AppriseAsset()` object prior to the initialization of your `Apprise()` instance.
For developers, persistent storage is set in the operational mode of `memory` by default.
It's at the developers discretion to enable it (by switching it to either `auto` or `flush`). Should you choose to do so: it's as easy as including the information in the `AppriseAsset()` object prior to the initialization of your `Apprise()` instance.
