When you access the Admin Console for the search appliance, the Home page gives
you instant information about the status of your system.
Test Center
The Test Center link in the horizontal blue bar at the top right of the Admin Console is
provided on every page, so you can do a test search on the front end you have
selected and on any collection you like. When you click the Test Center link, a new browser window opens.
Enter a search term in the search box and click the Search button
to view the results page for the front end and the collection you selected.
System Status
If all is running as it should, you see the System OK green button. A yellow Caution
button means that there may be an issue with disk space, with the machine temperature,
or with a machine itself. If there is a red Warning button, you should contact Google
Support. Click the System Status link to get more
information.
Crawl Status
The Crawl Status chart shows the number of URLs found and the number of URLs crawled in the last 24 hours. Clicking the click to expand link opens the Crawl Status page,
which contains a larger version of the chart, as well as a table
showing the total documents being served, the current crawling rate, and number of document bytes indexed.
The Crawl Status page also has a Pause button that you can click
to temporarily suspend crawling of your servers. This button becomes a Resume
button to use when you want to restart the crawl.
Serving Status
The Serving Status chart shows statistics on users' queries and on search results
served to those users. Clicking the click to expand link opens the Serving
Status page, which
contains a larger version of the chart and the recent number of queries per second
that are coming into the search appliance.
Quick Access Links
Under the charts are shortcut access links to commonly used pages in the Admin Console.
