Storage

Overview

Storage is an Xray feature that helps administrators manage their Jira projects' attachments, including attachments in Test Steps and evidence in execution results.

Xray data is stored separately in a dedicated database and does not count toward the attachment storage limit.

Before June 20, 2020, Xray attachments were stored in Jira Issues, specifically Tests and Test Executions. However, these attachments often clogged these Issues and consumed storage space in Jira. To address this issue, we have developed Storage: a solution to enable you to easily and quickly manage storage for Xray project attachments.

  • Attachments created before June 20, 2020, are still stored in the Jira Issues and will not be migrated to Xray Storage.

  • Attachments are also included in the Xray Backup.

Storage Limits

  • 100 GB per Xray instance for Xray Standard.

  • 250 GB per Xray instance for Xray Advanced.

  • Unlimited for Xray Enterprise.

This means that if you have multiple Jira instances with Xray installed, each instance includes its own set of storage.

FAQs

What Happens if I Exceed my Storage Limit?

If your Xray installation exceeds the storage limit, you will not be able to add any new attachments to Test Steps or Test Runs. We will not cancel your subscriptions or remove any data, as long as the usage follows Xray's acceptable use policy.

However, you have storage management tools at your disposal: you can decide, at any time, if additional storage is necessary for you and your team.

How do I Track my Storage Usage?

At Xray Settings, you can check your storage usage and also conduct cleaning actions to free space or even upgrade (you have unlimited storage capacity if you are using Xray Enterprise). To help you understand some valuable strategies and to help you expand your Xray Storage knowledge, please check Tips for Managing your Xray Storage. 

To learn more about how to track and manage your Xray Storage usage, please refer to the Storage feature documentation.
