How to check index creation progress

[Kevin Lv]

Hello,

Anyone can tell me how to check index creation progress in Arangodb?

By logs or someway else?

P.S. community edition, v3.5

Thanks.

Hi,

Please note that ArangoDB 3.5 is EOLed and hence no longer supported.

However, there is no way to monitor the creation of indices in supported versions.

Thanks for your answer.

I have another question, I noticed that there is a Arangodb Server Option:

https://www.arangodb.com/docs/3.10/programs-arangod-options.html#--clusterindex-create-timeout

The notes below says that "The amount of time (in seconds) the Coordinator waits for an index to be created before giving up."

Does this "giving up" mean that if the index is not successfully created after the time limit, then the index will stop being created?

In addition, "Effective on Coordinators only", what exactly is the function of the Coordinators here? Or what exactly is this role responsible for during index creation?

Thanks
