Using Sitemaps

You can index only the sitemaps listed on the webpage by enabling sitemaps in WEB collection settings.
We support the sitemap.xml if it is in the robots.txt when the settings ”Follow sitemap" is enabled.
If the sitemap.xml has a list of other sitemaps.xml SearchBlox would index the same.
Standard XML sitemaps are supported by SearchBlox. Sitemaps with compressed XML files with tar or gzip extensions are not currently supported in SearchBlox.
Only sitemaps would be indexed on disabling ignore sitemaps. That is, the links available in https://example.com/sitemap.xml would be indexed.
By default, ignore sitemaps would be enabled in WEB collection settings.
Multiple sitemaps can be indexed by providing multiple URLs in the root path.
Allow/Disallow collection path rules can be considered while indexing sitemap URLs.
Spider depth and other WEB settings are not applicable for sitemaps.
