DOVEADM-FTS(1)

NAME
doveadm-fts - Manipulate the Full Text Search (FTS) index

SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] fts command [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]

DESCRIPTION
The doveadm fts COMMANDS can be used to manipulate the Full Text Search (FTS) index.

OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:

-D  Enables verbosity and debug messages.

-o setting=value
    Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.

-v  Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

This command uses by default the output formatter flow (without the key= prefix).

Command specific options:

-A  If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid setting.

    When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.

-F file
    Execute the command for all the users in the file. This is similar to the -A option, but instead of getting the list of users from the userdb, they are read from the given file. The file contains one username per line.

-S socket_path
    The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.

    This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket.

-u user/mask
    Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
    When neither the -A option, nor the -F file option, nor the -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the environment of the currently logged in user.

ARGUMENTS

namespace
    The name of a namespace, e.g. the name of the shared namespace. When no namespace was given, the user's private namespace will be used.

COMMANDS

  fts optimize
doveadm fts optimize [-u user|-A|-F file] [-S socket_path] [namespace]

Optimize the full text search index. This is also done automatically by the full text search engines, but this enforces it to happen.

  fts rescan
doveadm fts rescan [-u user|-A|-F file] [-S socket_path] [namespace]

Scan what mails exist in the full text search index and compare those to what actually exist in mailboxes. This removes mails from the index that have already been expunged and makes sure that the next doveadm index will index all the missing mails (if any). Note that currently most FTS backends do not implement this properly, but instead they delete all the FTS indexes. This may change in the future versions.

  fts check fast
doveadm fts check fast [-u user|-A|-F file] [-S socket_path] [--refresh] [--print-mismatches-only] [namespace]

This command exists only when the fts_dovecot plugin (Dovecot Pro FTS) is loaded.

This command can be used to check FTS indexes for consistency. It performs a fast check using only information in local caches (fts.S, metacache).

--refresh
    Refresh any necessary local caches for the command to run successfully. This can be used if the command otherwise fails with exit code 68.

--print-mismatches-only
    Print only mailboxes that have inconsistencies.

Exit codes:

0   The mailbox is fully consistent

2   The mailbox is not fully consistent

68  There is not enough information in local metacache to know whether the mailbox is fully consistent. Use either the --refresh parameter or the "full" check.

  fts check full
doveadm fts check full [-u user|-A|-F file] [-S socket_path] [--print-details] [--print-mismatches-only] [namespace]

This command exists only when the fts_dovecot plugin (Dovecot Pro FTS) is loaded.

This command can be used to check FTS indexes for consistency. It performs a full check to give detailed output of inconsistencies.

--print-details
    Print also IMAP UID numbers and FTS triplet names for each email.

--print-mismatches-only
    Print only mailboxes (or emails, with --print-details that have inconsistencies.

Exit codes:

0   The mailbox is fully consistent

2   The mailbox is not fully consistent
