Search index states

Configuring > Archive Operations > Archive Stores > Search Index States

The different states of a GFI Archiver search indexes:

State	Description
	Initializing - this is the status when the search index is being created. An index is not expected to stay in this state for more than 10 minutes.
	Invalid - this indicates that the search index is most likely to be corrupt.
	Merging - GFI Archiver maintains sub-indexes which are smaller versions of the main index. These are used to increase the performance of the search index. Sub-indexes for an archive store are merged to the main search index when a number of sub-indexes are created or automatically at 2:00am.
	Paused - the process is manually paused from the GFI Archiver Configuration. The index will remain in this state until the Resume Index button is clicked.
	Online - the search index is online.
	Pending - this state shows that the search index will start rebuilding shortly.
	Rebuilding - this indicates that the indexer is indexing a database. The duration of rebuilding an index depends on the size of the database being indexed.
