Triggers a reindex of specified artifacts and/or builds. Use this to reindex existing resources that may have missing component data. The total number of entities (artifacts + builds) cannot exceed the configured maximum (default 1000).

For some package types, dependency information lives in a separate package metadata file rather than the artifact binary itself. To recover that information you must force-reindex the metadata file, not just the artifact. Examples:

• Docker: manifest.json (the manifest is the indexable entity for a Docker image; force-reindex also clears existing layer impact paths so they are re-derived from the manifest)

• Maven: pom.xml

• npm: package.json

• Conan: conanfile.py

For artifacts whose dependencies are encoded in a separate metadata file, point path at the metadata file (see the "Reindex Docker manifest" example below).

Requires Admin permission.
