it sounds a silly question, but I actually could not find a reference to it.I have created a sitemap_index with about 100-ish sitemaps.No errors.I submitted only the sitemap_index to Google webmaster.It displayes only one sitemap indexed (1 Url) that should contain 50K links, but if a test: site:example.com does show in fact only ten pages which were crawled not from the sitemap, with no links from the sitemaps.I uploaded the sitemap_index and sitemaps more than one week ago (I re-uploaded everything today, as a test - dates refers to today).I read through similar question:[Too much delay for indexing Sitemap in Webmaster Tools?all urls are live ones, not redirected.URLs in sitemaps have are like:example.com/path/my-string-id-for-item-example-64fdjbJfan/item-slug-nameThe type of content that should get indexed contains names of topics.The site is about data-visualisation: data is then manipulated via ajax, but html page contains meta populated via server side: a url was successfully indexed as test for a single submit, not from the sitemaps.I just cannot understand if my sitemaps are actually getting crawled and eventually indexed or not.If not, I cannot understand why not, and cannot understand the discrepancy for having at least 1 sitemap in sitemap_index, indexed, but a test site:example.com not showing any result from it.I would be happy to share sitename in private, in case you would like to have a closer look at how pages are created - I don't want to post it not to make it sound as advertisement or such!.UPDATEMy robots.txt includes only the sitemap_index (here sitemap.xml) :User-agent: *Allow: /Sitemap: http://example.com/sitemap.xmlShould I include all sitemaps mentioned in sitemap_index also in robots.txt?
Is sitemap in sitemap_index getting indexed by Google webmaster?
