Configuration of EndecaSrvStatTest

This test continuously monitors the target Endeca server, reports the time taken for processing admin, config, and user's search queries, and promptly alerts administrators to performance lags in terms of latencies, if any. In addition, this test also reports the time taken for result serialization, reading the request, writing the response, retrieving and storing documents, etc. These metrics help administrators to identify where exactly the processing is delayed and troubleshoot the bottleneck condition at the earliest.

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

• To show the most expensive queries set the SHOW MOST EXPENSIVE QUERIES flag to Yes, or else, set the flag to No. Enable or Disable the Detailed diagnosis to show most expensive queries.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, eG embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test, by default, for a particular server, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.

  • Both the bad and normal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• 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.
