Index

This page provides a quick overview of the jobs that are scheduled to run regularly in your Confluence instance.

Job Name Description
backupJob performs a site backup
mailQueueFlushJob sends notifications that have been queued up
referralQueueFlushJob referrals to Confluence pages are queued up. This job writes this referrals to the database
taskQueueFlushJob flushes the task queue
cleanTempDirectoryJob this cleans up temp files created in Confluence home temp directory (created by exports etc.)
dailyReportJob sends out an email summary of all changes in Confluence to all subscribers
clearOldMailErrorsJob notifications that fail to send due to errors are added tot he mail error queue. This job resets this clear periodically.
indexQueueFlushJob each content update to Confluence needs to be updated in index so search results are accurate. This job flushes changes to the index.
indexOptimizerJob index optimization is performed to compact the index and maintain searching performance. This task is expensive and does not need to be performed too regularly. If you see Confluence performance deteriorate around 3pm, you can try scheduling this job for 3am only and check that search performance remains reasonable.
indexQueueCleanJob this job is responsible for periodically triggering an Index Queue clean to ensure that size of the index queue does NOT grow indefinately.
mailPollJob polls POP accounts on all spaces that have them configured.
clusterSafetyJob ensures that only one cluster is ever writing to the database at one time. For non-clustered instances, this job is still useful for alerting customers that have accidentally deployed two instances of Confluence against the same database.

      Hi Daniel,

      To my understanding, Confluence allows you to trigger the following jobs manually from the Confluence UI:

      1. Rebuild Search Index via navigate to the Administration > Content Indexing directory.
      2. Flush Mail Queue via the Administration > Mail Queue directory.
      3. Fetching new mail from the mail server, which is available at Browse Space > Mail directory.

      Regards,
      Choy Li
