Issue

  • I want to check the status of the re-index process in Solr.
  • I want to check whether all indexes are properly created in Solr.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP environment configured with Solr Server as its search engine

Resolution

To check re-index status:

  • When performing a re-index, navigate to Core Admin tab to see the index status.
    If re-index is still in progress, the 'current' property will show a no-symbol value:

    If re-index is complete
    , refresh the page, and the 'current' property will show a green check mark:

To check whether an index for specific content exists in Solr:

  • In the left column, select 'liferay' under the Core Selector drop-down, and navigate to the query page. Make a query of any content that should be displayed in the Liferay UI. If the appropriate index results are outputted on the right, this confirms that the content is indexed. If the expected results are not outputted, this indicates that an index was not properly created, and a re-index may be necessary.
