can you schedule an index?

[Aram Ghanimian]

I was wondering if having an Index take place weekly would be a good idea. If so, is there a way to schedule the Index?

Hi Aram,

Since JIRA 6.1, it is possible to trigger a re-index via the REST API:

• 6.1 docs: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/6.1/#d2e3239
• Latest version docs: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#d2e3482

If you wish to schedule it for a particular time of the day, you may create a script which triggers the re-index via the REST API during the scheduled time (e.g. via a cron job).

Cheers,
