 * You write in the manual: “The best way to figure this out is to run the crawler
   a couple of times and keep track of the elapsed time. Once you’ve got that amount,
   set **Crawl Interval** to slightly more than that. For example, if your crawler
   routinely takes 4 hours to complete a run, you could set the interval to 5 hours(
   or `18000` seconds).”
 * What is the crawl interval? Is it the same as **Previous scan runtime:** 2111
   seconds?, or is it the same as **Last full run time for all crawlers:** 30869
   seconds?

 * I had a similar issue and the response was that it’s likely a mistranslation.
   Basically it means “how long to wait before the crawler runs again”. So in your
   case if it takes 4 hours then setting it to 5 hours will mean the crawler will
   run every 5 hours. Follow the “Last full run time for all crawlers”

 * `This is what’s confusing me because i thought “Crawl Interval” means “how long
   to wait before the job crawls the **entire sitemap** again”. Not “how long to
   wait before the job runs normally”.?`
