Description
doveadm indexer can be used to manage the indexer process.
Global Options
Global doveadm(1)
- -D
- Enables verbosity and debug messages. 
- -O
- Do not read any config file, just use defaults. The dovecot_storage_version setting defaults to the latest version, but can be overridden with 
- -k
- Preserve entire environment for doveadm, not just import_environment setting. 
- -v
- Enables verbosity, including progress counter. 
- -i instance-name
- If using multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based on this instance name. - See instance_name setting for more information. 
- -c config-file
- Read configuration from the given config-file. By default it first reads config socket, and then falls back to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. You can also point this to config socket of some instance running compatible version. 
- -o setting=value
- Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times. 
- -f formatter
- Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are: - flow
- prints each line with key=value pairs. 
 
- pager
- prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L). 
- tab
- prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines. 
- table
- prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines. 
Commands
indexer add
doveadm [Global Options] indexer add [-h] [-n max_recent] user mailbox
Add indexing request for the given user and the mailbox to the indexer queue. It works the same as the doveadm index -q command.
- -h
- Add the indexing request to the head of the queue. By default the request is added to the tail of the queue. 
- -n max_recent
- An integer value, which specifies the maximum number of \Recent messages in mailboxes. If the mailbox contains more than max_recent messages with \Recent flag set, the mailbox will not be indexed. This may be useful to avoid unnecessary indexing for large mailboxes that are never opened. 
indexer remove
doveadm [Global Options] indexer remove user_mask [mailbox_mask]
Remove all indexer requests for the matching user_mask (and mailbox_mask). It's possible to use wildcards. Requests that are currently processed by indexer-worker are not listed; use doveadm kick instead to kick them.
indexer list
doveadm [Global Options] indexer list user_mask
List all the queued indexing requests matching user_mask. It's possible to use wildcards. Requests that are currently processed by indexer-worker are not listed; use doveadm who instead to see them.
