Recently updated on Dashboard is not updating

Sue Hallwood

although there have been many updates our clients production wiki over the weekend Recently Updated on the dashboards doesnt show any updates after Sept 16. I have looked at the plugins and they seem to be ok. They are using Confluence 3.5.1. additionally new pages are not showing in search.

Could i get some help to troubleshoot this issue or can i be directed to any support issues already created for this issue?

Maybe you now need to take a larger mallet to your index. Delete and reindexing from scratch? Do you have much content to reindex?

This likely points to a problem with the Content Indexing.

Browse to:

Confluence Admin | Administration | Content Indexing

Check the Queue Contents tab for problems with the indexing queue and maybe even rebuild the search index.

Note: A full rebuild can take a long time depending on the size of your Confluence instance.

Will rebuilding the search index affect any users currently logged into the system?

David at David Simpson Apps

It shouldn't drastically change things. If this doesn't fix your problem, then next step is to remove the index and rebuild it from scratch. This will mean until the index is rebuilt, you will have no search index, so functionality that depends on it (e.g. recently updated, the search and certain parts of the editor) will be affected.

rebuilding seemed to fix the issue with recently updated and the site search but today it is not updating again. I notice that even though I have rebuilt the search index twice now I still see:

Queue is currently idle

Queue Last Processed

StartedSep 16, 2011 16:33

Index recreated NO

Index optimised NO

What would have caused the the queue to go idle and does this mean I need to remove the index and rebiuld it from scracth?

There is a fair amount as this is the clients main instance of Confluence. We are checking to see if Confluence is running out of memory or disk space as this will also have to be resoled in order to fix the indexing issue.

Hi Sue,

Yes, it could indeed be OutOfMemory. Here's the knowledge base article on this.

I have also added the com.atlassian.confluence.search.lucene package to logging and set it to DEBUG. I am waiting to hear from one of my team members to restart Confluence so the looging of the package will take affect as I do not have that kind of access to the server.
