Hi,
While going through my SharePoint Server 2016 environment web applications, I could see the property called "blobcacheflushcount" has been set in one of the web application.
Can someone please explain me about this property and what the value 4 means?
My environment is MinRole setup, 1 - Application, 3 - WFE's, 1 - DC, 2 - Search Servers.
Regards,

This means the BLOB cache has been flushed a total of 4 times on that Web Application.
I cover some of those settings in the configuration screenshot for my BLOB cache management tool at https://github.com/Nauplius/BLOBCache/wiki/Usage.
Hi @trevorseward ,
Thanks for your update, Trevor. For now, my understanding is, 'blobcacheflushcount' property indicate, how many times the BLOB cache has been flushed after it has been enabled on a particular web application, regardless of server restart or services restart, please correct me if I am incorrect.

One last thing, I noticed that every day at ~7.30am the CST, BLOB cache folder was recreated for the Web application and it seemed to automatically Flushing, but we did not set the scheduled tasks or custom timer jobs to automatically flush the BLOB cache. Is it possible to check the entire BLOB cache settings and flush histories for web use by using the namespace in PowerShell?
