Indexing Progress Tracker stops after ~2 minutes

[erikattechslice]

Im trying to create a new default website index. The progress bar and indexing seems to pause after 2 minutes of running. Im not sure if refreshing the page or the cron list from the command line gets it to start running again.

is there a way to keep the crontask to keep running and indexing the site?

Thanks!

This tracker is actually not that accurate. That is why we removed it in the most recent version of this module (use the master branch to get the latest code). Instead we redirect users the queue manager page to see how many jobs remain /admin/config/system/queue-ui.

If you are looking to speed up indexing by running multiple parallel jobs, you can add the following entries to your crontab:

* * * * * drush cron-run queue_elasticsearch_dispatcher --root=/path/to/your/drupal/root
* * * * * drush cron-run queue_elasticsearch_queue_1 --root=/path/to/your/drupal/root
* * * * * drush cron-run queue_elasticsearch_queue_2 --root=/path/to/your/drupal/root
* * * * * drush cron-run queue_elasticsearch_queue_3 --root=/path/to/your/drupal/root
* * * * * drush cron-run queue_elasticsearch_queue_4 --root=/path/to/your/drupal/root
* * * * * drush cron-run queue_elasticsearch_queue_5 --root=/path/to/your/drupal/root

This requires a lot of processing power though so if you find that your server is slowing down, you might want to remove this or reduce the number of running queues.

I hope this helps!
