[Rummager](/apps/rummager.html) uses Sidekiq to offload indexing work.

This alert triggers when there are jobs in the Sidekiq queue that are waiting
too long to be processed. This could mean that documents aren't appearing
in search after they've been published.

## Investigating the issue

The issue could be caused by a temporary spike in publishing activity, or
something being wrong with Rummager.

You can [check the Sidekiq Grafana dashboard for Rummager](https://grafana.publishing.service.gov.uk/dashboard/file/sidekiq.json?refresh=1m&orgId=1&var-Application=rummager&var-Queues=All). Take a look at the "Retry set size" - this could mean that jobs are failing. You can then look at [Sentry](/manual/error-reporting.html) or [Sidekiq web](https://docs.publishing.service.gov.uk/manual/monitor-sidekiq-workers.html) to see what's going on.
