Configuration of EndecaRsrcUsageTest

The resource utilization including memory and disk usage by the Endeca server is crucial for its effective performance. Excessive memory usage can cause significant deterioration in server performance. EndecaRsrcUsageTest reports the memory usage of the Endeca server and the maximum memory that the server is configured to use along with that administrators are notified if the resident set size, disk usage, or throughput violates the acceptable limits.

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

• 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.
