More Information

Admin Console: Home

When you access the Admin Console for the search appliance, the Home page gives you instant information about the status of your system.

Using the 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 current front end you 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 indicator. A yellow Caution indicator means that there may be an issue with disk space, with the search appliance temperature or with a disk drive. If there is a red Warning indicator, 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.
