We have the following crontab expression executing on our Jira instance every Friday night: 00 03 * * 5 bash /root/rebuild_jira_index.sh >>/root/rebuild_jira_index.log 2>&1 The /root/rebuild_jira_index.sh script performs the following steps: * stop the Jira application service; * delete the Jira index files; * start the Jira application service; * sleep until Jira is in status=RUNNING; * issue a full re-index request via the Jira REST API. It appears that the re-index command is not succeeding.

Yes i am able to do foreground re index manually. Also i am running this script from the instance instance itself as root.

Hm that's weird, documentation says that you need to have Admin permission to execute this endpoint. If there is no authentication, there is no permission. Your script also removes index files so I guess FOREGROUND reindex should not work. Can you try to rebuilt index manually after startup? Is foreground reindex option available?

The script : # shut down jira service while [[ $(pgrep java) ]] do sudo service jira stop sleep 30 done # remove index files # https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/unable-to-rebuild-jira-application-indexes-228623566.html sudo rm -rf /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/caches/indexesV1/ # start up jira service sudo service jira start # wait until jira is ready to serve # https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-63928 # https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/confluence-data-center-technical-overview-612959401.html while [[ ! $(curl -s https://jira.xxxxxxx.com/status | grep RUNNING) ]] do sleep 600 done # trigger full foreground re-index curl -n -X POST https://jira.xxxxxxxxx.com/rest/api/2/reindex?type=FOREGROUND

Jira indexing script not working

We have the following crontab expression executing on our Jira instance every Friday night:

00 03 * * 5 bash /root/rebuild_jira_index.sh >>/root/rebuild_jira_index.log 2>&1

The /root/rebuild_jira_index.sh script performs the following steps:

stop the Jira application service;
delete the Jira index files;
start the Jira application service;
sleep until Jira is in status=RUNNING;
issue a full re-index request via the Jira REST API.

It appears that the re-index command is not succeeding.

What is your reindex command? Did you try the one mentioned on this page? https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/reindex-jira-server-using-rest-api-via-curl-command-663617587.html

curl -n -X POST https://jira.xxxxxxxxx.com/rest/api/2/reindex?type=FOREGROUND

You definitelly need to authenticate user (jira-administrator) to invoke this endpoint
