- Inclusion or exclusion filters for the organization units to retrieve content from when running content crawls
- Inclusion or exclusion filters for the types of Catalogue and Learning objects to retrieve content from when running content crawls
Content is only retrieved from the source system if it passes all of your configured crawl setting filters. If any crawl setting filter excludes a content item, the external content connector doesn't retrieve it.
By default, each external content connector can index up to ten million (10,000,000) content items from its source system. When a connector exceeds this limit, it continues to crawl the source system, but only sends content item deletions and updates to AI Search for indexing, ignoring new content items. The connector logs an error message for every 10,000 content items it crawls beyond the indexing limit.
When a connector's indexed content item count exceeds 800,000, a warning message appears in the connector's UI to indicate that it's approaching the indexing limit. If the connector reaches the indexing limit, an error message appears in its UI.
External content connectors that support user permissions crawls can retrieve up to five hundred thousand (500,000) users.
If one of your connectors reaches the content indexing limit, you can update its crawl settings and file inclusion/exclusion filters to reduce the number of content items it retrieves. Alternately, if you need a connector to index more than 10,000,000 content items or to retrieve more than 500,000 users, you can create a Customer Service and Support case at https://support.servicenow.com/now to request a limit increase for the connector.
