Configuring SearchBlox
Before using Confluence Data Source, install SearchBlox successfully and create a Custom Collection.
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:
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.
Steps to Configure and Run the Confluence Fresh Run Data Source
- Download the SearchBlox Connector UI. Extract the downloaded zip to a folder.
Contact [email protected] to request the download link for SearchBlox Connectors UI. The following steps include the example paths for both Windows as well as Linux. In Windows, the connector would be installed in the C drive.
