ElasticSearch Cronjob

We recommend setting up a cronjob for the ElasticSearch task that periodically re-initializes the database.

The task responsible for this can be called as follows:

./symfony elasticsearch:index

It supports the following parameters:

--verbose

Enables the detailed output.

--housekeeping

Performs cleanup of orphaned data within ElasticSearch only (i.e., data that is no longer in VIMP but still exists in ElasticSearch).

--reindex

Initializes the indexes within the ElasticSearch instance (new) by deleting the old indexes and creating new ones.

Via a cronjob the task can be called e.g. like this:

0 4 * * * php -f /pfad/zu/vimp/symfony -- elasticsearch:index >> /pfad/zu/vimp/log/elasticsearch-indexing.log 2>&1
