This test auto discovers the content distributors in a Fast Search server 2010 for SharePoint farm and reports the following for each content distributor:

• The current load on every content distributor, thus revealing the overloaded distributors;
• Delays (if any) in content processing, and the probable reasons for the same - is it because the content distributor took too long to send the batches for processing? is it because the document processor took too long to send the processed batches for indexing? is it because of the absence of adequate ‘valid’ document processors to handle the load? is it because of ineffective usage of the available document processors?

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the FSContDistTest.

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
