I've submitted a sitemap to GWT and things are starting to index as shown under the Crawl → Sitemaps menu. I've also confirmed indexing by doing a Google site: search.However going to the Google Index → Index Status menu shows 0 pages indexed.What is the difference between the Sitemap page's count of indexed pages and the Index Status count? There seems to be no simple way to see the total number of pages indexed. The only way is going through each individual sitemap index and summing up each individually (which is not possible as I have a lot of indexes).
Why is there a discrepancy between Index Status and indexed from Sitemaps in Google Webmaster Tools?

But going to the Google index->Index status menu it shows 0 page indexed. What is the difference between the sitemap menu and the index status menu?The index status menu lags behind the sitemap menu (about a week, sometimes more), but ultimately, they converge to the same value. If you are in a hurry, then compute the sum from the sitemap menu to have the latest estimation of what is indexed. Otherwise the index status will give you a good estimation, unless your site is really new (less than a month old).Keep in mind that Google adds and removes pages from the index all the time. So, this figure can change all the time too.
