Artifactory's search and indexing facilities are not related to Maven indexes
The indexing performed by Artifactory is secure, immediately effective and supports a larger variety of search options, including custom metadata searches.
Maven indexes only exist in Artifactory for the purpose IDE integrations. They are periodically calculated, contain a limited set of data and are non-secure by design.
Information about the content of a repository is exposed to anyone with access to the repository's index, regardless of any effective path permission you have in place. If this is a concern, do not expose an index for that repository.
Using Artifactory Cloud?
The Maven Indexer service is only available on Artifactory Clouddedicated servers.
Usage
管理Maven索引Administration模块选择Artifactory | Maven Indexer.
Artifactory provides you with controls to specify how frequently indexing is run and which repositories are included in the index calculation.
Enabled |
When set, indexing is enabled and will run according to the Cron Expression setting. |
Cron Expression |
A validCronexpression that determines the frequency in which Maven indexes on the selected repositories will be recalculated. |
Next Indexing Time |
Indicates the next scheduled indexing run. |
Run Indexing Now |
Invokes indexing immediately. |
Excluded Repositories |
Specifies the repositories that should not be indexed on the next run. |
Included Repositories |
Specifies the repositories that should be indexed on the next run. |
Clear All |
Removes all repositories from theIncluded Repositorieslist. |
Indexing is resource intensive
Calculating and indexing for a repository may be a resource intensive operation, especially for a large local repository or if the repository is a virtual one containing other underlying repositories.
Therefore, we recommend that you do not include repositories that do not require indexing for a periodic index calculation.
