REST API for reindex -/rest/api/2/reindex/request/{requestId} - How to get the request id

[Debabrata Sahu]

Where does JIRA stores all the task id related to reindexing both Project level and application level

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

In memory, as there's no use for the request id's outside the running process.

[Debabrata Sahu]

Thanks Nic,

Then for running above api, how can i get the requestId.

[Debabrata Sahu]

Our requirement is, if we want to check all the Project Index activities going on currently. Then can we do that.

I'm guessing you have not managed to find the documentation as you're asking this.  

Check the descriptions of the available calls in https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/reindex

Hi Nic,

Thanks i have seen these api's, by the problem is non of them is telling me the progress of Project Reindex task.

For GET /rest/api/2/reindex/request/{requestId}

What shoud be the request id, from where can i get it

For api/2/reindex/request 

its not showing me the details of on going project reindexing

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Please, read the documentation, it clearly states how to get the ids and return a progress report.

[Debabrata Sahu]

I am sorry, i couldn't find how to get request id in below link https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/server/#api/2/reindex Also i suspect these API is giving information on application level reindex. If i triger a BACKGROUND reindex and hit api/2/reindex/progress with the task id provided in URL, then only I get response. But if same is being done with Project Reindex, then no response.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Hmm.  I get told about project indexing when I run it.

[Debabrata Sahu]

Hi Nick,

Can you please help by being more elaborative. What exactly you tried. 

Did you get the details about Project Reindex by  api/2/reindex/progres and passing the task id given in the url 

secure/project/IndexProjectProgress.jspa?pid=xxxxx&taskId=25329

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No, the list of currently running index processes returned by the REST call for the list contains the id of any index process currently running.

[Debabrata Sahu]

I already checked that and that is what  i am trying to point out, in my case if i triger a Project Reindex and immediatly hit this REST API, i am not getting any id.

• When I trigger an re-index by api, I get the id back and can search for it.
• triggering a re-index in the browser by system->re-index or project->re-index, I can guess the task-id form the browser-URI. If the browser is closed, the id is gone.
• If I want to find out whether someone else in the system has started an re-index either for an project or the complete system, I am list.

So how can i find out whether there is an re-index running started by anyone in the system?
