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.

    What you get

    Find and Fix Solr Performance Problems Faster

    Sematext Monitoring offers Solr monitoring tools that enable teams to easily set up and maintain monitoring. Out-of-the-box dashboards give you a detailed view of your system’s performance, exposing logs, metrics, and events at the same time. Along with its powerful alerting and reporting capabilities, it helps minimize the time spent troubleshooting.

    • Monitor JVM Heap and GC behaviour, 'right-sizing' Solr instances to meet your traffic demands
    • Pick up on trends in search and indexing latency, identifying points of concern and alert
    • Optimize Solr index performance, using monitoring for iterative improvements
    • Gain an accurate picture of I/O requirements for your cluster
    • Confirm load and shard balance
    • Identify when a new Solr query is performing slowly

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

          Just looking at the default graphs it was clear I can reduce my serverless resource usage on Vercel by 90%, by reducing the allocated memory. Sematext simply turns your logs in actionable data, out of the box. Costs, performance, it's all there
