indexlist

Use this command to list the names of particular index types or all the index types present in the system.

When data is indexed, it is stored in a particular category of index. Each category denotes an index type.

The following index types are available:

Data: Contains all the external data indexed.
Metrics: Contains the internal metrics (or logs) generated by the BMC TrueSight IT Data Analytics product for the Collection Station and Search components. For more information, see Monitoring the product metric files.
Metadata: Contains details of all the existing indexes including the name, start time, and end time of the index. Every index stores records for a particular duration. When a search is run, the Search component consults this index to get details of the actual indexes where the searched data resides.
