Configure Engine

You can configure an engine to have optimum utilization and to improve the performance of the engine.

To configure the engine

  1. Navigate to the Control Panel, Engines, All Engines folder.

    The existing engines in the domain are displayed under the folder.

  2. Right-click the engine and select Properties.

    The Properties for Engine_Name dialog appears.

  3. Click the Advanced tab and specify the following settings:
    Number of files the engine will collect during one collect cycle

    Specifies the number of files you want the engine to collect during one collect cycle. By default this number is set to 10000. This means, the engine will collect 10000 files during one collect cycle and then let the engine tasks in queue to execute before it starts the next cycle. The next collect cycle begins after the interval specified in the field below.

    Default: 10000

    Time Interval in seconds between Engine Tasks

    Specifies the time interval in seconds between the engine task runs. By default this interval is set to 60 seconds. This means, the engine collects the data from the scalability server every 1 minute. If you have any engine task that runs for a long time, change this interval to accommodate the engine task execution.

    Default: 60
