This article shows how you can reindex Magento 2 index types using the command line. In my previous article, I have listed out all the command line tools that can be used in Magento 2. This article specifically shows about commands to reindex Magento 2 index types.
Get Index Types Info
First of all, let’s get the information/list of all the index types present in Magento 2. For this, we use the following command:
php bin/magento indexer:info
Running the above command will output something like this:
design_config_grid Design Config Grid
customer_grid Customer Grid
catalog_category_product Category Products
catalog_product_category Product Categories
catalog_product_price Product Price
catalog_product_attribute Product EAV
catalogsearch_fulltext Catalog Search
cataloginventory_stock Stock
catalogrule_rule Catalog Rule Product
catalogrule_product Catalog Product Rule
So, we now know the list of all the index types.
Check Status
Let’s check the status of all the index types using the following command:
php bin/magento indexer:status
Running the above command will output something like this:
Design Config Grid: Ready
Customer Grid: Ready
Category Products: Ready
Product Categories: Ready
Product Price: Reindex required
Product EAV: Ready
Catalog Search: Reindex required
Stock: Ready
Catalog Rule Product: Ready
Catalog Product Rule: Ready
Check individual indexer status
You can also check the status of individual index types. Let’s check the status of index types “Category Products” and “Product Categories”.
php bin/magento indexer:status catalog_category_product catalog_product_category
Running the above command will output something like this:
Category Products: Ready
Product Categories: Ready
Reindex
Reindex individual index types
In the above status result, we can see that “Product Price” and “Catalog Search” require reindexing. Let’s reindex them.
php bin/magento indexer:reindex catalog_product_price catalogsearch_fulltext
Running the above command will output something like this:
Product Price index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:20
Catalog Search index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:12
Reindex all index types
If you want to reindex all index types, then you need to run the following command. We use the same indexer:reindex command but without specifying any indexer type. Hence, this will apply for all index types.
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
Running the above command will output something like this:
Design Config Grid index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:04
Customer Grid index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:06
Category Products index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:02
Product Categories index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:00
Product Price index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:01
Product EAV index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:00
Catalog Search index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:04
Stock index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:01
Catalog Rule Product index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:00
Catalog Product Rule index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:00
Hope this helps. Thanks.
