Monitor Search Crawl Jobs

Administrators can check the last time content was indexed and monitor the status of crawl jobs. You can stop any crawl job that is running, cancel the next scheduled crawl before it starts, or run a new crawl.

If users report search issues, check the status of crawls to ensure that they're current. After a crawl is completed, users might have to wait a few minutes before they can locate the latest content.

1. In the Home page, click the user profile icon, and then click Administration.
2. Click Monitor Crawl.
   The Crawl Job Status page shows information about the past, current, and the next scheduled crawl. In the Progress column, XSA indicates a dataset.
3. The Start Time, End Time, and Status columns indicate when the content was last crawled, and the Scheduled Time column indicates when the next crawl is due.
4. Click Cancel to stop a crawl job that is Running or Scheduled.
5. To rerun a crawl with the status of Terminated or that displays progress totals of zero:
   1. Click the Configure Crawls link.
   2. Click Run Now.
   3. Click the Monitor Crawls link and locate the scheduled job. The revised crawl runs in a few minutes time.
