Hi there,
a customer has a confluence version 7.10.0 (Server) Starter License, and their maintenance for confluence expired on June 16th 2021. Now they are facing an Indexing issue where while indexing the progress stops halfway through the process. As a result, their search is not working.
My questions are multifold
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, hints and Ideas.
Regards
Tabe
Hi @Nyenty_ Tabe ,
You you tried re-indexing from scratch?
Yes, you should be able to upgrade to any version that was published in your license period.
Will it be without any issues? Upgrades rarely are, so please test this on a separate instance and provide backups.
Please also find some other index issues here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/when-rebuilding-the-content-indexing-it-is-marked-as-rebuild-failed-but-it-keeps-progressing-afterwards-1318891784.html
Please provide more detailed error messages or logs if the problem persists.

Hi @Tessa Tuteleers ,
an indexing from scratch solved the issue. The customer has been using the rebuild index. So after performing an Indexing from scratch, everything is working as supposed.
Thanks for the hint and your assistance.
@Barbara Szczesniak Thanks for the information
Kind regards

the indexing was not initiated from scratch.
I found a version within the license period. However, I´m still reluctant to go for the update as I am not sure this would fix the indexing problem. As per your provided Link, the cause might be on various ends.
By the way can you tell me which logs might help here?
The customer provided some logs but they all date back 10.2023 last year as the last change date. Which seems a bit strange.
