Measures reported by FSDocProcessTest

The document processor takes the content that the crawler has collected and sent via the content distributor and organizes it into searchable text by sending the content through the indexing pipeline. As such, the document processor is the mechanism that pushes items through the pipeline in which different processors perform different, specific tasks on the content. Document processors can perform many tasks, such as extracting text from files, breaking the text into words, identifying languages, and extracting entities. By the end of the indexing pipeline, several unique processors are passed and the document is in a FiXML format that can be stored in the index and made searchable. The Document Processors send the converted document to the Indexing Dispatchers which in turn sends it to the Indexer that generates a searchable Index.

This test reports the current status of each of the document processors configured on the FAST Search 2010 server for SharePoint. This way, you can quickly figure out which document processor is doing what. Additionally, this test reports the number of times the Document Processor is initialized and the number of times the reasssignment of the content disteributor dispatcher has been completed/started.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Que_fullState Indicates the current state of the Indexing Dispatcher input queue i.e., the queue through which the converted document is sent to the Indexing Dispatcher by the Document Processor.   This measure reports the value Full if there are one/more documents in the Indexing dispatcher input queue and Not Full if no documents are there in the queue.

The values reported by this measure and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value/B> Numeric Value
Full 1
Not Full 0

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the state of the Indexing dispatcher input queue. However, in the graph of this measure, the queue state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
Svr_initialize Indicates whether/not this document processor is currently initializing.   The values reported by this measure and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the Document Prosessor is initializing. However, in the graph of this measure, the initializing state of the Document Processor is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
Svr_process Indicates whether/not this Document Processor is currently processing a set of operations.   The values reported by this measure and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the Document prosessor is processing a set of operations. However, in the graph of this measure, the processing state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
Svr_dispatch Indicates whether/not the set of operations were submitted to the Index dispatcher by this Document Processor.   The values reported by this measure and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the Document Processor is submitting a set of operations to the index dispatcher. However, in the graph of this measure, the processing state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
Pipe_initialize Indicates whether/not the sharepoint pipeline is initialized.   The values reported by this measure and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the sharepoint pipeline is initialized. However, in the graph of this measure, the initialization state is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.
Tot_no_initial Indicates the number of times this document processor was initialized. Number  
Reassign_dispatch Indicates the number of times the reassignment of the content distributor dispatcher is completed. Number  
Resolve_dispatch Indicates the total number of invocations of the nameserver resolve of the contentdistributor dispatcher. Number  
Rslve_mstrCntdstbtr Indicates the total number of invocations of the nameserver resolve of the primary contentdistributor. Number
