Summary
When rebuilding the Confluence Ancestor table Confluence does not display progress and instead only shows the confirmation message "Ancestor table rebuilt successfully." To track the progress on a larger instance we can enable additional logging and view the progress in the atlassian-confluence.log.
For auditing or administration purposes, an administrator may want to see what time the process completed. This can be done by adding an additional class in logging configuration. See also CONFSERVER-38795 - Progress report for rebuilding the ancestor table.
Solution
Go to Confluence Admin > Logging and Profiling
Add an entry for
com.atlassian.confluence.pages.ancestors.HibernatePageAncestorManagerclass with INFO level (as directed in Configuring Logging)Open <confluence_home>/logs/atlassian-confluence.log and you will now see the additional Ancestor table logging as shown below:
