Configuration of EndecaDataLayerTest

This test auto-discovers the data files of the Endeca server, and reports the time taken to flush, commit and merge the data into each data file. Additionally, this test reveals the time taken to release data from each data file and abort any I/O activity on each data file. Using this test, administrators can isolate those data files on which data is taking too long to be flushed/committed.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, specify the HOST for which this test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the target host is listening. The default port is 15000.

• Specify the URL to access the page from which this test will be collecting the required statistics in the PREFSTATURL text box. The default URL will be in the format: http://{Endeca_Server_IP}:8000/admin?op=stats

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS button will appear in this page. Clicking on this button will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
