XpoLog Search Engine help - Administration
 
Click the 'XpoSearch' component to enter XpoLog's search engine. Select the 'Administration' menu to enter the 'Search Engine Management' screen. The search engine management information is organized in 4 tabs:
  1. Log Selection - in this section you should select the logs you want to be indexed. Only logs of supported types are displayed in the tree. Opening the tree will display all the logs which are currently set to use indexing. Click the 'save' link after you finish to select logs in order for the changes to be saved.
  2. Global Scheduler - in this section you can specify the scheduling information for complete log indexing runs. See Scheduling for more details on how to define schedulers. Select the 'Enable indexing scheduler' option to turn on the scheduler. The default indexing scheduling definition is to run every night, at 1 AM.
  3. Delta Scheduler - similar to the Global Scheduler, only that the scheduling information here is used for incremental log indexing runs. While the log global scheduler will run indexing (updates) for all defined logs no matter how much the logs themselves were changed (but will not re-index log sections that were already indexed), the delta scheduler will run indexing for logs that have changed sufficiently, according to the minimal file change parameter defined in the 'General' tab. Select the 'Enable delta indexing scheduler' to turn on the scheduler.
    The 'Update indexing only after log was indexed for the first time' option allows you to further fine tune the execution of the delta scheduler. Selecting this option guaranties that intensive indexing will take place only during the global scheduler executions: since the delta scheduler usually runs in shorter intervals than the global scheduler, a newly added log would have been completely indexed on the next delta scheduler run. If that log is very large the indexing could consume computer resources for a long time. Selecting the 'Update indexing only after log was indexed for the first time' means that delta indexing will occur only after the log have been fully indexed for the first time, so the mass indexing will occur during the global scheduler run, usually at night.
  4. General -
    • Number of results per page: enter here the number of log results to be displayed in each result page of a search.
    • Minimal file change: the minimal size in bytes of the changed or added portion of a log in order for the log to be indexed during delta scheduler runs.
    • Average CPU Limitation: the average CPU consumption for indexing. Setting any value other than 'Unlimited' will influence the indexing performance.
    • Indexing directory: either the default indexing directory or a user defined directory. Changing this setting will move all indexes to the selected directory; if this setting is done while a log is being indexed, that index will be deleted.
    • Index numbers: check this value to enable indexing of numerical values.
    • Special characters: enter a sequence of all the characters that should serve as token delimiters and not be indexed. Use this option if you don't want to index certain characters. Since the indexed tokens are smaller in case special characters are used, the resulting indexing is smaller and the overall performance of the search engine increases.
