  3. Click the group for which you want to view settings.

  4. Click the Configure tab.

This table contains the Group settings:

Field

Description

Group Name

The name of the group.

Cache Sizing

The cache sizing method. When the method is automatic, the cache size and cache partitions are computed automatically and the manual cache configuration settings are ignored. When the method is enode, the cache size and cache partitions are also computed automatically but they are tuned for better memory utilization of an Evaluation Node. The manual cache configuration settings are ignored when the method is enode. When the method is dnode, the cache size and cache partitions are also computed automatically but they are tuned for better memory utilization of a Data Node. The manual cache configuration settings are ignored when the method is dnode. When the method is manual, the manual cache configuration settings are used.

Compressed Tree Read Size

The size of the block for random access when reading compressed tree files.

Triple Cache Timeout

The time, in seconds, that a cached triple index page can be unused before being eligible to be flushed from the cache. Larger values can potentially cause more memory to be used for by the triple cache. Smaller values can potentially cause more time to be used reloading triple index pages.

Triple Value Cache Timeout

The time, in seconds, that a cached triple value index page can be unused before being eligible to be flushed from the cache. Larger values can potentially cause more memory to be used for by the triple value cache. Smaller values can potentially cause more time to be used reloading triple value index pages.

List Cache Size

The amount of memory to dedicate to caching termlist data for all on-disk stands.

Note

This setting only appears when cache sizing is set to manual.

List Cache Partitions

The number of independent list cache partitions to allocate. More partitions allow more concurrency, but make each individual cache partition smaller, which could make it more likely for the cache to fill up. The default is determined based on the amount of memory on your system and should work well for most installations. If you see a lot of CPU under-utilization under heavy concurrent query loads then raising this value can improve performance. The server may use fewer or more than the configured partitions to keep partition sizes between 2048 and 8192 megabytes.

Note

This setting only appears when cache sizing is set to manual.

Compressed Tree Cache Size

The amount of memory to dedicate to caching tree data in compressed form for all on-disk stands.

Note

This setting only appears when cache sizing is set to manual.

Compressed Tree Cache Partitions

The number of independent compressed tree cache partitions to allocate. More partitions allow more concurrency, but make each individual cache partition smaller, which could make it more likely for the cache to fill up. The default is determined based on the amount of memory on your system and should work well for most installations. If you see a lot of CPU under-utilization under heavy concurrent query loads then raising this value can improve performance. The server may use fewer or more than the configured partitions to keep partition sizes between 512 and 8192 megabytes.

Note

This setting only appears when cache sizing is set to manual.

Expanded Tree Cache Size

The amount of memory to dedicate to caching tree data in expanded form for the query evaluator.

Note

This setting only appears when cache sizing is set to manual.

Expanded Tree Cache Partitions

The number of independent expanded tree cache partitions to allocate. More partitions allow more concurrency, but make each individual cache partition smaller, which could make it more likely for the cache to fill up. The default is determined based on the amount of memory on your system and should work well for most installations. If you see a lot of CPU under-utilization under heavy concurrent query loads then raising this value can improve performance. The server may use fewer or more than the configured partitions to keep partition sizes between 1024 and 8192 megabytes.

Note

This setting only appears when cache sizing is set to manual.

Triple Cache Size

Smtp Timeout

The time, in seconds, before an SMTP request times out and issues an error.

Http User Agent

The User-agent string issued when making HTTP requests from an App Server in the group.

Http Timeout

The time, in seconds, before an HTTP request times out.

Xdqp Timeout

The time, in seconds, before a request between a MarkLogic Server evaluator node (the node from which the query is issued) and a MarkLogic Server data node (the node from which the forest data is retrieved) times out.

Triple Value Cache Partitions

The number of independent triple value cache partitions to allocate. More partitions allow more concurrency, but make each individual cache partition smaller, which could make it more likely for the cache to fill up. The default is determined based on the amount of memory on your system and should work well for most installations. If you see a lot of CPU under-utilization under heavy concurrent query loads, then raising this value can improve performance. The server may use fewer or more than the configured partitions to keep partition sizes between 512 and 8192 megabytes.

Host Timeout

The time, in seconds, before a MarkLogic Server host-to-host request times out. The host-to-host requests are used for communication between nodes in a MarkLogic Server cluster.

Host Initial Timeout

The time, in seconds, that an instance of MarkLogic Server will wait for another node to come online when the cluster first starts up before deciding that the node is down, and initiating failover for any forests that are assigned to that offline host.

Retry Timeout

The time, in seconds, before a MarkLogic Server stops retrying a request.

Module Cache Timeout

The time, in seconds, that a cached module can be unused before being flushed from the cache. Larger values can potentially cause more memory to be used for cached modules. Smaller values can potentially cause more time to be used reloading uncached modules.

System Log Level

The minimum log level messages sent to the operating system. Log levels are listed in decreasing level of log details. You may change the system log level or leave it at the default level.
