| As you know I’m playing working with SharePoint/FAST Search a lot. I have a lot of tasks when I have to sit on the button F5 while crawling and check the status: is it started? is it still crawling? is it finished yet?… I have to hit F5 in every minute. I’m too lazy, so decided to write a PowerShell script that does nothing but checking the crawl status of a Content Source and writes it to the console to me. And I can work on my second screen while it’s working and working and working - without touching F5. The script is pretty easy: $SSA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity "Search Service Application"
$ContentSource = $SSA | Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource -Identity "My Content Source" do {
Write-Host $ContentSource.CrawlState (Get-Date).ToString() "-" $ContentSource.SuccessCount "/" $ContentSource.WarningCount "/" $ContentSource.ErrorCount
Start-Sleep 5
} while (1) Yes, it works fine for FAST (FS4SP) Content Sources too. |
