Document tracking reports metadata about documents when they pass through various stages in the indexing process. For example, when a connector finds a new document and sends it for ingestion, a document tracking event is created that shows the document has been added. Document tracking can help you detect problems with the indexing process.
You can write document tracking events to a database, log file, or IDOL Server. For information about how to set up a database to store document tracking events, refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide.
To enable Document Tracking
[DocumentTracking]
.In the new section, specify where the document tracking events are sent.
To send document tracking events to a database through ODBC, set the following parameters:
Backend
|
To send document tracking events to a database, set this parameter to Library . |
LibraryPath
|
Specify the location of the ODBC document tracking library. This is included with IDOL Server. |
ConnectionString
|
The ODBC connection string for the database. |
For example:
[DocumentTracking] Backend=Library LibraryPath=C:\Autonomy\IDOLServer\IDOL\modules\dt_odbc.dll ConnectionString=DSN=MyDatabase
To send document tracking events to the connector's synchronize log, set the following parameters:
Backend
|
To send document tracking events to the connector's logs, set this parameter to Log . |
DatabaseName
|
The name of the log stream to send the document tracking events to. Set this parameter to synchronize . |
For example:
[DocumentTracking] Backend=Log DatabaseName=synchronize
To send document tracking events to an IDOL Server, set the following parameters:
Backend
|
To send document tracking events to an IDOL Server, set this parameter to IDOL . |
TargetHost
|
The host name or IP address of the IDOL Server. |
TargetPort
|
The index port of the IDOL Server. |
For example:
[DocumentTracking] Backend=IDOL TargetHost=idol TargetPort=9001
For more information about the parameters you can use to configure document tracking, refer to the HPE Web Connector Reference.
