Peer Stats

Peer stats allow you to view the status of the peer nodes associated to your Logger in both graph and table. Any exception triggered by the system (including nodes that cannot be reached out or search results from unreacheable peers) will also be displayed in this page.

To view peer stats:

Run a search with the local only box unchecked from the Analyze > Search page.
Click the statistics by peer icon. The search spinner displays and indicates the connection to each peer is in progress.

Tip: The message "The search will exclude or skip the following peers due to a communication error" pops up if an issue is encountered.

A diagram will show a color-coded peer search status (as depicted in the legend box). At the end of each colored line, you will see the hit count of each peer node. Additionally, if you point to any peer node, a window will display additional details such as: name, search status, scan and hit count.

The following results will also be displayed in this window:

Total Scan Count: Total of scanned events by all the peer nodes during the search.
Total Hit Count: Total of events from all the peer nodes that matched the indexed search portion of the query. For more details, see Query Expressions.

Note: Search page hit count will be different for aggregate functions since the head will only count the summarized events.

If you click the statistics by graph icon, a table with the following information will be displayed:

Stats	Description
Peer name	Name designated by the user.
Peer Reachability	Reachable: Proper communication between the peer head and the node (marked with a green icon). Unreachable: Non- existent communication between the peer head and the node (marked with a red icon). No available information (labeled as NA) will be found in peer search status, scan count, hit count , and scan rate. Slow: Communication between peer and head takes more than 1 second. This status can be easily changed to reachable status.
Peer Search Status	Execution status when conducting a search. Each status is displayed with a different color. Failed: Failed search executions are marked with a red icon. Completed: Successful search executions are marked with a green icon. Not available: Unavailable connections due to an unreachable peer are marked with a white icon. Running: Search is still in progress and marked with a yellow icon.
Scan Count	Number of events scanned by the peer during the search.
Hit Count	Number of events (sent from peers to the head) that matched the query.
Scan Rate	Scans the count events divided by total search time (in seconds).
Elapsed Time	Final search time on each peer node.
CPU	Updates the CPU usage every 6 seconds.
Memory	Calculates memory usage in both percentage and actual megabytes. Long name fields are not fully displayed, and instead, have an ellipsis. To view the full number, point to memory. Data is updated every 6 seconds.

Total Scan Count and Hit Count are also displayed at the right-bottom of this window.

To access the online help, click . You can also review the internal events of peer statistics (Scan/hit count, scan rate, CPU usage and memory, reachability) in the Search page view. For further details, see Application Events. To enable view and customize the internal stats, see Peer Nodes.
