Erick, My understanding of the process is this:
1. The DBA opens a command line prompt and initiates an index build/rebuild 2. SOLR performs said index build/rebuild 3. Index finishes I don't think we're appending documents to the SOLR index - it's indexing MSSQL tables. The servers these are running on aren't beefy enough to run multiple SOLR index builds at the same time. So the hope is to find some key in the logs that shows the start of the index rebuild so that I can put in some automation to blast out an email saying "Server X is currently running an index, do not kick off an index run on Server X". Thanks so much for your help.

You mean starting Solr or actually adding a document to a running Solr? If the latter, you're probably looking for something like this: Feb 9, 2012 10:34:26 AM org.apache.solr.update.processor.LogUpdateProcessor finish INFO: {add=[eoe32]} 0 6 The important bits are solr.update.processor and the add=blahblah bit where the stuff after the = will be a list of <uniqueKey>s for the document(s) added. However, this will be somewhat fragile, the format of the logged messages is not guaranteed in future versions. Although this is happening, I think, after the doc has been added to the index, so it may be too late for your problem.
