On Search Service Application Administrative page there is a section "Search Application Topology"

I am getting a red Error icon under the "Crawler" column.  Should I be concerned?  How do I go about tracking this down?

Thanks

Hi Dickiemac,

I recommend to run the PowerShell command below to see the status of the crawl component.

If the crawl component does not exist or is an orphaned component, please add a new crawl component to the search topology:
