&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m not aware of any logs that live in the admin console. Could you tell me the name of this log and where I might find it?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What kind of characters caused this issue? The primary keys listed in the error message all had &amp;quot;-&amp;quot; in them, but there are more than 410 primary keys with that symbol in the record, and I can&amp;#39;t see the rest of the failed primary keys to confirm if that pattern holds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Indexing Fails When Configuring Smart Search</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/152732?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Dec 2025 17:14:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:56dfa3cd-283d-4108-a315-7e276a720e74</guid><dc:creator>Jack Ferguson</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Shubham,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could you elaborate on what kind of data can&amp;#39;t be indexed?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The record syncs fine and there are no sync filters, which would indicate that there are no missing/invalid primary keys, just keys or data that can&amp;#39;t be indexed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Indexing Fails When Configuring Smart Search</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/152720?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2025 08:20:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:32be0f2b-7cc0-4ef0-89ca-316fa0747ffb</guid><dc:creator>aidang181818</dc:creator><description>[deleted]&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Indexing Fails When Configuring Smart Search</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/152719?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2025 05:38:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e7a5fe76-9979-446e-99bf-32c9ddb1cd1c</guid><dc:creator>Shubham Aware</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Failed records likely have invalid/missing primary keys or data that can&amp;#39;t be indexed.

&lt;p&gt;This sounds suspicious. But, I suggest to open a support case and report this behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
