NAME

       knife-index - Rebuild the search index on a Chef Server

SYNOPSIS

       knife index rebuild (options)

       -y, --yes
	      don't bother to ask if I'm sure

DESCRIPTION

       Rebuilds all the search indexes on the server. This is accomplished by deleting all objects from the search index, and then forwarding each
       item in the database to chef-expander(8) via rabbitmq-server(1). Depending on the number of objects in the database, it may take some  time
       for all objects to be indexed and available for search.

BULK DELETE

       knife role bulk delete REGEX (options)

       Delete roles on the Chef Server based on a regular expression. The regular expression (REGEX) should be in quotes, not in //'s.

DESCRIPTION

       Roles  provide  a  mechanism to group repeated configuration settings. Roles are data structures that contain default_attributes, and over-
       ride_attributes, which are nested hashes of configuration settings, and a run_list, which is an ordered list  of  recipes  and  roles  that
       should be applied to a host by chef-client.

       default_attributes  will be overridden if they conflict with a value on a node that includes the role. Conversely, override_attributes will
       override any values set on nodes that apply them.

       When chef-client(8) configures a host, it will "expand" the run_list included in that host's node data. The expansion process  will  recur-
       sively replace any roles in the run_list with that role's run_list.
