Confluence Docs 3.0 : How do I Modify the Frequency of Content Indexing This page last changed on Oct 01, 2009 by rhartono. Confluence Content Indexing frequency is handled using a cron job set in `schedulingSubsystemContext.xml`.
| Time is derived from the Confluence server The time zone is taken from the server on which Confluence is running. To check the time according to the server, do the following: Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this: Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administration Console' view will open. Click 'System Information' in the left-hand panel and look at the 'System Time'.
2. Confluence uses Quartz for scheduling periodic jobs. To change the time of your content indexing, you will need to edit the Quartz configuration. To change the time of your content indexing Open the Quartz configuration file `schedulingSubsystemContext.xml` located under `confluence/WEB-INF/lib/confluence-x.x.x.jar`. Where x.x.x is your Confluence version number. For Confluence earlier than 2.6, the index cron job is located in `<install dir>\confluence\WEB-INF\classes\schedulingSubsystemContext.xml`. Find the following section of the file:
       <bean id="indexQueueFlushTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
           <property name="jobDetail">
               <ref bean="indexQueueFlushJob"/>
           </property>
           <property name="cronExpression">
               <value>0 0/5 * * * ?</value>
           </property>
       </bean>
The string `'0 0/5 * * * ?'` sets up a Cron Trigger for the job to run every 5 minutes. Re-jar the file, either with a zip utility (change the title of .zip back to .jar) or a java command. You can set a new time by editing this string. Note that the date and time format in this configuration file is in this order: Second minute hour day Restart Confluence. For example, to set the new time to twenty past ten PM, change the string to `'0 20 22 * * ?'`. For complete details on the formatting of the cron string, please see http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/api/org/quartz/CronTrigger.html.
