Google Search Appliance Database Feed

Question

I am setting up a GSA box for the first time for work. I have set up a connection with a database (for a people search) that successfully crawls all the rows. It then created a feed for me but always returns "Failed in error" with the following in the log:

ProcessNode: Does not match patterns, skipping record with URL: googledb://<host>/<Database>/azE9MTIsMQ

So I try adding the databases to the crawl list (i.e. from Google Search Appliance index content from database). But that always returns

^googledb:// will not be included because it does not match any of the 'Follow and Crawl Only URLs' pattern

I cannot for the life of me figure out what to put into that section. What value do I need to include in the Follow and Crawl Only URLs field?

Answer 1

You need to add that to the "Follow and Crawl Only URLs with the Following Patterns:" section. That pattern will allow any database feed.
