What is solr
What is Solr?
Solr is a clustered search platform built on top of Apache Lucene. The architecture is designed to scale horizontally - distributing indexing, search and fault tolerance across many, often virtual machines, often in the hundreds of instances.
Search is often a critical part of an overall solution. No search means no sales, downtime costs money. Scale and tuning just-right, gaining insight into operational issues and technical failures are economic considerations. This is where monitoring tools like Sematext comes in as real contributors.

Sematext monitors and alerts on all the stats needed to ensure Solr performance, including:
- JVM metrics, pool size, utilization and thread counts, open files
- Garbage collection frequency, duration and depth
- Search performance metrics: Request rate, latency, timeline
- Indexing performance metrics: Indexing size, latency, timeline, file system stats, deletions by ID vs query
- Cache metrics: Filter-cache, document-cache, query result-cache, per segment filter cache
- Collection metrics: commit times, warmup times
- Check the Solr monitoring documentation to see the entire list of performance metrics provided.

We looked into running our own Elastic Stack, and quickly realized that was a job and specialty within itself. We are a small startup and every dollar counts. Wasting precious and expensive sysadmin time on managing things far out of our project scope really isn’t an option
