Measures reported by CouchDBIndrTest

Indexing is a way to optimize the performance of a database by minimizing the number of disk accesses required when a query is processed. It is a data structure technique which is used to quickly locate and access the data in a database.

This test monitors the target CouchDB server and reports the number of indexers running on the server. In addition, this test also reveals the number of indexers running for a long time and also reports the running time of indexer greater than the configured running time. Using this test, administrators can be alerted to irregularities in indexing operations if any, and rectify them at a faster pace.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Apache CouchDB Server.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
indexerCount Indicates the number of indexers running on the server. Number  
long_Running_Indexers Indicates the number of indexers currently executing on the database server with more running time. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. A non-zero value is indicative of indexing operations issues.

Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to figure out the process Id, duration and started time of indexing process.
maximum_Indexer_Time Indicates the running time of indexer greater than the configured running time. Seconds A low value is desired for this measure.
