Default Parameters for EndecaDataLayerTest

This test auto-discovers the data files of the Endeca server, and reports the time taken to flush, commit and merge the data into each data file. Additionally, this test reveals the time taken to release data from each data file and abort any I/O activity on each data file. Using this test, administrators can isolate those data files on which data is taking too long to be flushed/committed.

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

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

  • 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

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

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.
