Sometimes its quite impossible to go each server and check the log file. Using powershell, we can gather all logs in sharepoint servers at a single place in a single file. This will be easy to analyze by using sharepoint log viewer. Therefore we will use powershell to merge sharepoint log file of multiple sharepoint servers at once place.

I faced an issue with sharepoint search where full crawl takes too long to complete nearly 240 hours. Requirement was how to reduce the full crawl time.

  • Search service is working fine.
  • search components are online and heathy.
  • There is enough space in the server drive hosting search components.
  • Checked event log in the server hosting crawl component and found the below error 
Event ID: 30
Description: The search service stopped the filter daemon because it was consuming too many resources. A new daemon will automatically be started, and no user action is required.

Also from crawl logs found most traces related to memory quota choking like as below

The filter process could not be initialized when trying to process this item. Verify that the file extension is a known type and the item is not corrupt.

Resolution

so as to resolve the issue, we need to made some changes in registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\14.0\Search\Global\Gathering Manager

Change the properties of below two items to 200 MB from the default value of 100 MB.

Partial Index Reset of a single content source

This script will remove and re-add your content source‘s start addresses.

SharePoint will more or less rebuild the index for these sources, when the next full crawl is started.

$sourceName = "Local SharePoint sites"
$SSA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$source = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource -Identity $sourceName -SearchApplication $SSA
$startaddresses = $source.StartAddresses | ForEach-Object { $_.OriginalString }
$source.StartAddresses.Clear()
ForEach ($address in $startaddresses ){ $source.StartAddresses.Add($address) }
