Panth Indexer Manager

What you get

See it in action

Reindex Selected, View modal, click-to-toggle Mode, live status polling, and the Run Log — all from the native Index Management page.

Key Features

Reindex from the admin — with proper UX

• Per-row Reindex button on every indexer in Magento's native System → Index Management grid
• Per-row View button opens a details modal with status, schedule, backlog, and the last 10 runs for that indexer
• Three top-row mass actions next to the native Actions dropdown:
• Reindex Selected — primary orange — runs the rows you've ticked
• Reindex All — outline orange — runs all 17+ indexers in one shot
• Reindex Invalid — outline red with — runs only rows currently in Reindex required state
• Optimistic UI — the moment you click, the affected rows flip to PROCESSING with a spinner; you never wonder if the click registered
• One-click Mode toggle on the Mode cell — flip an indexer between Update by Schedule and Update on Save in a single click, no mass-action dropdown gymnastics
• Top-right toast feedback for every action — success / error / info
• Live status polling every 5 seconds with a green pulsing indicator, manual Refresh now button, and Updated HH:MM:SS timestamp

Full Run History (Run Log)

• Every reindex anywhere in the system is captured — admin clicks, CLI commands (bin/magento indexer:reindex), cron schedule runs, programmatic API calls — all recorded by a plugin around Magento\Indexer\Model\Indexer
• Started, Indexer, Operation, Context, Status, Duration, Admin User, Message — all visible in a clean paginated grid (10 per page)
• Error messages preserved in full — when an indexer fails, the exception trace lands in the log so you can debug without having to reproduce
• Per-indexer history in the View modal — see the last 10 runs for any single indexer
• One-click Clear Log to wipe everything

Strategy Choices

• Standard (synchronous) — runs reindex in the request thread, returns when finished (default; matches Magento's built-in behaviour)
• Queue (deferred) — publishes to the panth.indexer_manager.reindex message-queue topic, processed by the consumer; the admin gets a "queued" toast immediately and the reindex runs in the background

Retention & Notifications

• Daily retention cron — old log entries are pruned by age (configurable per day count, set to 0 to keep forever)
• Failure email alerts — when a reindex fails, an email is sent to one or more recipients with the indexer ID, context, admin user, full error message, and a link back to the store
• Failures-only mode — keep the log small by only recording failed runs

Built right

• MEQP-style code — typed properties, strict_types, PSR-4, escapers, no var_dumps
• No core overrides — extends Magento's native grid via layout XML + column renderers + a thin JS enhancer
• Hyva-friendly — admin only, doesn't touch the storefront
• Translatable — every label goes through __(), ships with i18n/en_US.csv
• ACL-aware — three resources (manage, log, config) under Panth Extensions

Admin UI Tour

Manage Indexers — three new columns + a top-row toolbar

Panth Indexer Manager extends Magento's native Index Management page with:

• A new Last Tracked Run column showing the most recent run timestamp + duration
• A new Actions column with per-row Reindex (filled orange) and View (outline orange) buttons
• A normalized Status badge sized to match Mode and Schedule Status visually
• A top-row toolbar injected next to the native Actions dropdown:
• Reindex Selected / All / Invalid mass buttons
• Live polling toggle with green pulsing indicator
• Refresh now button + last-update timestamp
• Open Run Log link

View Details modal — recent run history per indexer

Click View on any row to see:

• ID, Description, Mode, Status, Schedule status, Backlog count, Last update
• A table of the last 10 tracked runs for that indexer, with Started, Status badge, Duration, Context, Admin User, and the full Message (rendered as a <code> block for error traces)

One-click Mode toggle

Click any Mode cell to flip between Update by Schedule and Update on Save — no mass-action dropdown, no Submit, no page reload.

Run Log — paginated, searchable, exportable

Every reindex anywhere in the system is captured here:

• 10 entries per page, newest first, with Magento-styled pager (« ‹ 1 2 3 4 5 › »)
• Status badges: SUCCESS (green), ERROR (red), RUNNING (yellow)
• Error messages rendered as monospace code blocks for legibility
• Go to Index Management button (orange) and Clear Log button (outline) at the top right

Reindex Strategies

Standard (default)

admin clicks Reindex → Run controller → IndexerInterface::reindexAll() → response

Runs synchronously in the request. Best for fast indexers (< 1 second). Same code path as Magento's native mass action.

Queue (deferred)

admin clicks Reindex → Run controller → publish to panth.indexer_manager.reindex
 ↓
 ReindexConsumer ← message broker (DB queue, AMQP-compatible)

Best for long-running indexers (full catalog reindex, search rebuild). Returns immediately to the admin with a "queued" toast. To drain the queue:

bin/magento queue:consumers:start panth.indexer_manager.reindex

Or run it as a cron-driven consumer (see Magento docs).

The tracking plugin records the run regardless of which strategy is in use, because it wraps IndexerInterface itself.

Run Log &amp; Retention

The panth_indexer_manager_run_log table stores every captured run with:

Indexes on indexer_id, started_at, and status keep the grid responsive even with hundreds of thousands of rows.

Retention is enforced by the daily cron panth_indexer_manager_cleanup_run_log (runs at 03:00 in the default group). Set Log Retention (days) = 0 to keep entries forever.

Email Notifications

When a reindex fails and notifications are enabled and at least one recipient is configured, an HTML email is sent containing:

• Indexer ID, operation, context
• Started / finished / duration
• Admin user (if applicable)
• Store name + base URL
• Full error message in a preformatted block

The email template is registered as panth_indexer_manager_failure and lives at view/frontend/email/reindex_failure.html — override it in your theme if you want to brand the message.

The default sender is the store's trans_email/ident_general identity (Stores → Configuration → General → Store Email Addresses).
