The EndecaPerfTest monitors the request servicing capacity of the Endeca Navigation Engine, and reveals how well the engine is able to service search queries.

The parameters of this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the storage array for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the PORT text box, mention the port at which the specified HOST listens.

• In the PERFSTATURL text box, specify the URL to access the Endeca performance status page from which this test will be collecting the required statistics. 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 check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Finally, click the Update button.

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.
