I would like to know when the JIRA, Confluence Re-indexing started and completed

[Manu Mishra]

HI Team,

Is there any way i can see the information about re-indexing status either from UI or from Log? We used to perform re-indexing every week in JIRA & Confluence and being an admin i would to know, when the re-indexing performed and when it was completed with the time taken to complete. I  have been looking for the log (atlassian-jira.log) but i couldn't able to determine when it was completed. 

Is there any specific line in the log file which contains the information OR is there any other way to see the specific peace of information?

Hello,

Try to use GET /rest/api/2/reindex. You can find more info here:

My JIRA URL is "https://localhost:8080" and i am using postman. So the api url i am using https://localhost:8080/rest/api/2/reindex but it is not returning any value in jason. kindly let me know if the above url is correct.

Kindly make sure that you are authenticated in Jira via postman. If you use basic authentication in Jira, you should pass the Authorization header with "Basic username:passwordInBase64".
