How to check whether the reindex working or not in Magento?
You can check via command line:
php bin/magento i:status
You have enabled Update on Save, so the reindex will occur in realtime whenever a change is made in the admin. So you might not have done any changes for that indexers product category and catalog rules, so that you are seeing the last updated date(i.e.) reindex has occurred when you made changes to those indexers in December and March.
So if you enable the reindex to Update on Schedule , the reindex will occur through cron job regularly.
Indexers can be managed/updated by two following ways.
- Update on Save: This runs every time when ever you are making any changes to the particular field & save it. viz. When a customer is buying a product stock Index is get reindexed, When you are making any changes into the product price product price indexer is get reindexed. It works similarly for other indexers also.
- Update By Schedule: It is running based on the cron set in your Magento.
Here in your settings your Indexer update Action Mode is set on Update on Save & since you haven't made any changes from long time into Product Categories & into the Product Price/Cart Price rule So it is not showing any update into it. As of you will create any cart rule or you will make any changes to the product category it will run the relevant indexers & then you can see the updates into that particular indexer.
If you want to run the indexers on the basis of cron schedule change the Action drop-down value to Update By Schedule & click on the submit. You can set these indexers cron from Below location.
- Go to Admin > STORES > Settings > Configuration.
- Go to Advanced > System > Cron (Schedule Task)
- Change the values as per your requirement in Cron configuration options for group: index
- Save the changes & flush the cache.
