# Reindex a Tenant Database

If an index is corrupted and the tenant service is not starting or if data is missing, you might need to reindex the database. Depending on the volume of data, it may take some time for the reindexing to complete. Follow these steps to reindex the entire database of a tenant.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Note

Reindexing a tenant requires machine resources and might have a temporary impact on the performance of other tenants.

By default, audits are not reindexed. See [Reindex the Audit Log](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.14/customize-cortex-xsoar/customize-and-configure-cortex-xsoar/manage-data/reindex-the-audit-log.md) for instructions.
{% endhint %}

1. If the tenant is running, stop the tenant process:

   Go to Settings → ACCOUNT MANAGMENT → **Accounts**, select the tenant account, and click **Stop**.
2. Backup the tenant index directory, located at: **` /var/lib/demisto/tenants/acc_`` `` `*****`TENANT_NAME`*****`/data/demistoidx`** .

   The backup of the index directory should not be stored under **` /var/lib/demisto/tenants/acc_`` `` `*****`TENANT_NAME`***.
3. Delete the tenant index folder:

   **` sudo rm -rf /var/lib/demisto/tenants/acc_`` `` `*****`TENANT_NAME`*****`/data/demistoidx`**
4. Restart the tenant process:

   Go to Settings → ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT → **Accounts**, select the tenant account, and click **Start**.

   The host will automatically reindex the tenant account.
5. Log in to your Cortex XSOAR tenant instance and verify that the reindex process was successful.

   All of your data should appear, for example, incidents, playbooks, automations, and so on. If there are any issues, contact the Cortex XSOAR support team.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-6-multi-tenant-guides/6.14/configure-multi-tenant/configure-the-multi-tenant-deployment/reindex-a-tenant-database.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
