[Sebastian Krzewiński]

Hi @sachin 

All informations about indexing and how to start reindex you can find here - https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/search-indexing-938847710.html

About monitoring:

• when admin start reindexing Jira will show progress on page (background and full reindex)
• if you run full reindex (blocking reindex) users also will see progress of indexation.
• also in logs you can find informations about reindex progress
• you can also find information about status of your jira via REST API (http://your_jira_url/status). This endpoint will show Running status (if Jira is working) or Maintenance (if jira is reindexing)

Regards,

Seba

ok Sebastian thanks for your response .

We are using centos 7 in JIRA Server . Is it possible to  check reindexing status via command line or any similar way ? 

[Sebastian Krzewiński]

You can check status using curl command or you can read logs if you are have access to server.

You can use linux command to tail the logs for re-indexing process.

just make sure that you have access to Jira home folder

tail -f <jira home folder>/log/atlassian-jira.log | grep c.a.j.w.a.admin.index.IndexAdminImpl

Secondly, if you are on a data center you should run this command on the node server which you triggered the full-reindex process.
