AEM apache sling sitemap generator is generating sitemap for author but not generating sitemap index.

I am able to successfully generate sitemap for config.author.

 

 

I have following configuration in config.author.local

 

However, sitemap-index is not getting generated.

 

I also have following content in filter.any

## Allow AEM sitemaps
/0073 { /type "allow" /path "/content/*" /selectors '(sitemap-index|sitemap)' /extension "xml" }

 

Rewrite rules

# allow sitemap access
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ((sitemap-index|sitemap).xml)$
RewriteRule ^(.+)\/?$ ${lc:$1} [PT,L]

 

Could someone please help on how to generate sitemap-index. I thought it is automatically taken care of

@pbjelly you can also quickly verify it by enabling the on-demand sitemap generation in author server.

do you have multiple sitemaps ?

 

 The sitemap index is a way to link to multiple sitemaps. If you only have one sitemap, the sitemap index might not be generated because it's not needed.

can you check error logs and see for any errors, if the above statement is not correct.

      @pbjelly I agree with @sureshdhulipudi If you site is small, it’s fine to have a single Sitemap for them. However, if sites grow large, you can leverage AEM’s Sitemap index file capabilities. And to do this, all we have to do is request that top level Sitemap page with sitemap-index.xml, instead of these .sitemap.xmlselectorandextension. And this will return a standards compliant Sitemap index file that in turn lists all the Sitemap files that represent the site. 

       

      It is recommended that you create a sitemap-index.xml file that references all your sitemaps and keep that as part of your project code in your github repo. This way it is easy to add new sitemaps as the project expands.

      Follow below link to implement sitemap index:

        We have multiple sitemaps. For every page, we have a sitemap. The structure looks like

         

        content

           --domain

               --location1

                    --locale1

                         --sitemap.xml

                    --locale2

                         --sitemap.xml

               --location2

                    --locale1

                         --sitemap.xml

                    --locale2

                         --sitemap.xml

         

        So there needs to be a sitemap-index at location1, location2 and domain. From what you mentioned, I simply need to request for top level with sitemap-index.xml without any additional configuration, right? I did that but it did not work

         

        The thing is, I am generating sitemap in author. Can I visualize sitemap-index in crxde? I can see sitemap.xml in my crxde but not sitemap-index

          Hi @pbjelly,

           

          When you want to have multiple sitemaps inside the sitemap-index.html, you need to the enable the "Generate Sitemap" page property for all the required roots. So in your case, I think you need it enabled for all locations and locales. Can you pls check if this helps?
