A content source that has finished processing still shows up as "Running" in the UI despite clicking Stop. This prevents processing anything else on the content source.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Go to the MongoDB for the content source, for example, using Robo 3T (formerly Robomongo) and locate the status collection.
  2. Open the last entry and set the crawlStatus to "S" for Completed.

  3. View the different values for the “status” collection at MongoDB Collections Description.


You can also run a query in Robo 3T (formerly Robomongo) in the Content Source database to view the status of the last crawl:

db.getCollection('status').find({}).limit(1).sort({$natural:-1})
