SOLR MONITORING & ALERTING

Maintain the health and reliability of your Solr deployment with active monitoring and alerting. SearchStax gives you all the visibility you need to ensure the health of your Solr deployments. Detect potential issues and failures before they can cause significant problems or outages.

SCHEDULE A DEMO

Improve Solr health with early detection of potential Solr issues

Effective monitoring and alerting brings multiple benefits:

Better Performance

Monitoring and alerting ensures that Solr is always performing optimally

Higher Availability

Monitoring and alerting that Solr is always available and accessible in high-traffic, mission-critical applications

Efficient Capacity Planning

Monitoring and alerting can help administrators identify when the system is nearing capacity and take action to add additional resources

Increased Security

Monitoring and alerting can help detect and respond to security threats

Keep an eye on Solr performance with real-time and historical graphs

SearchStax Managed Search provides real-time and historical statistical graphs of critical Solr server and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) metrics and statistics.

Cloud has collection level monitoring designed to display the health of replicas across servers.

These statistics provide a birds-eye view of Solr cluster health, enabling you to understand the health of your systems.

Automate notifications and integrate with your existing tools to consolidate monitoring

Heartbeat Alerts

Heartbeat Alerts notify a list of email recipients when a server starts or stops operating

LEARN MORE

threshold Alerts

Threshold Alerts notify a list of email recipients when a server exceeds a performance threshold

LEARN MORE

webhooks

Webhooks can be incorporated with either type of alert to notify an external bug-tracking or alerting system.

LEARN MORE

Get notified whenever Solr performance metrics exceed pre-set parameters

Threshold alerts watch a specific system metric and sends your team an email when the metric meets or exceeds some value.

SearchStax has an extensive list of threshold metrics covering these categories:

  • CPU, Disk, Memory, JVM
  • Solr Throughput and Latency
  • Cache Utilizations
  • Garbage Collection

Check out what’s going on with Solr performance in the SearchStax Managed Search Dashboard

You’ll always be able to know what’s going on with your Solr deployment because you can easily view historical incident reports in your SearchStax Managed Search dashboard.

Simply navigate to the affected deployment to view the list of heartbeat alerts or threshold incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Solr Monitoring and Alerting

Why is monitoring and alerting important to Solr health?
  1. Performance: Monitoring and alerting can help ensure that Solr is performing optimally. By tracking metrics such as response time, query throughput, and indexing speed, administrators can identify performance bottlenecks and take action to optimize the system.
  2. Availability: Solr is often used in high-traffic, mission-critical applications. Monitoring and alerting can help ensure that Solr is always available and accessible to users. By monitoring metrics such as uptime, network latency, and request errors, administrators can quickly identify and resolve any issues that may be impacting availability.
  3. Capacity Planning: Monitoring and alerting can help administrators plan for future growth and capacity requirements. By tracking metrics such as index size, query volume, and storage utilization, administrators can identify when the system is nearing capacity and take action to add additional resources or optimize the system.
  4. Security: Monitoring and alerting can help detect and respond to security threats. By tracking metrics such as login attempts, authentication failures, and unusual user activity, administrators can quickly identify potential security breaches and take action to mitigate the risk.
What are 4 critical metrics for Solr health?
  1.     JVM Heap Memory
  2.     System Load Average
  3.     Disk Space
  4.     Errors of all kinds
