Viewing Harvesting Status

Currently Spotlight allows you to view the indexing status from the Dashboard. Harvard's forked version of Spotlight has a branch with modification to this to allow other background jobs to display their status as well. Below is a sample of what the modified status display looks like.
Two visible changes:

  1. The word 'reindexing' has been removed to allow a more generic display of any job.
  2. The display now includes a 'Job Type' that displays which type of background job was running (currently this is only Reindexing and Harvesting).

To use this display, users need the Harvard forked Spotlight log_entries branch and the Spotlight Oaipmh Harvester job_entry branch.

When using the forked version of Spotlight, make sure to run the migrations to update the log entries database tables.

Ideally, the Spotlight 'log_entries' branch will get pushed into the main Spotlight repo via a pull request but currently isn't ready for that due to lack of tests.
