Intro To Dashboard Part – I

Here I will give a brief introduction to Apache Solr Dashboard that we have seen in my last post i.e.

Logging
This tab displays the current log information & exists until the server not restarted, as the server restarted this information becomes reloaded. For logging Solr uses Slf4j library & log4j.properties file.
This file is present at /solr4.7.2/example/resource folder & can be customized according to your need.

While this example shows logged messages for only one core, if you have multiple cores in a single instance, they all will be listed with the level for each as shown below-


Here I used the term “Core”, I’ll discuss it separately. In the logging tab, you can select a log level for your package or class. Just go over there in hierarchy & click you will get a list of all available logging level, select any one of them & logging for that particular package or class will start automatically.
