Configuration of EndecaCacheTest

This test closely monitors the cache, tracks the percentage of cache hits, misses and number of lookups, and alerts administrators if the value deviates from the acceptable limits. In addition, the test also reports the count of evictions, number of reinsertions and rejections, time taken for reinsertion, etc. Using the pointers provided by this test, administrators can fine-tune the cache for best performance.

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.
