Confluence Data Source
The Confluence Data Source lets you index content from your Atlassian Confluence into a SearchBlox collection, allowing you to search spaces, pages, blogs, and attachments directly within SearchBlox.
Configuring SearchBlox
Before using the Confluence Data Source, make sure SearchBlox is installed and a Custom Collection is created.
Prerequisites
For Windows:
- Download zoneinfo.zip into any directory (preferably C drive).
https://sbgoclient.s3.amazonaws.com/confluence/confluence_refresh/zoneinfo.zip - Add a system variable named ZONEINFO, and the value should be the path of zone info zip.
For example, System variable name ZONEINFO and value= C:\zoneinfo.zip - Save the Environment variable.
Linux
- Download zoneinfo.zip into /usr.
https://sbgoclient.s3.amazonaws.com/confluence/confluence_refresh/zoneinfo.zip - Go to bash_profile file using the following command:
1. vi ~/.bash_profile - Add the following in the file and save:
export ZONEINFO=/usr/zoneinfo.zip
Note:
These steps are mandatory for the connectors to refresh the data. The preceding setup has to be done before running fresh connector.
