The elasticsearch index is automatically updated when needed but in some situations you may want to force a complete recreation. Which does not destroy any data but may take several minutes or even several hours, depending on your data.

Allow to recreate the elasticsearch index

To be able to restart the indexation via the webfrontend, add this to your yml-configuration, e.g. in easydb-server.yml:

server:
  api:
    settings:
      reindex: true

The default is: false, or in other words: disabled.

Make sure to not duplicate lines in the same file. For example, do not put server: twice into the same yml-file.

easydb-server.yml is part of the directory config in your central data storage directory which was set up during installation.
