Analytics & Monitoring
Opensolr gives you full visibility into how your search is performing. See what people search for, how fast queries run, which errors occur, and how much server resources your index uses — all from your dashboard.
For a walkthrough of every monitoring feature, see Real-Time Solr Monitoring & Analytics. To understand the difference between Solr-level and search-page analytics, see Analytics Comparison: Solr vs. Web Crawler.
Your Analytics Dashboard at a Glance
Here is a visual overview of the analytics dashboard. Each section gives you a different view of your search performance.
Query Analytics
Query analytics show you everything about how people search your index. You can see trends over time, find out what is popular, and identify gaps in your content.
Request Volume Over Time
A time-series chart showing how many search requests hit your index each day. Spot traffic spikes, seasonal patterns, and growth trends at a glance.
Popular Queries
See the most-searched terms in your index, ranked by volume. This tells you what your users care about most. Use it to prioritize content creation.
Recent Queries
A live list of the last 100 queries, showing the exact text users typed, when they searched, and how many results they got back. Updated in real time.
Zero-Result Queries
Queries where users searched but found nothing. This is your content gap report. If people search for something and get zero results, you know exactly what content to add. See the No-Results Dashboard for details.
Click-Through Analytics
See which search results users actually clicked. This shows whether your top results are relevant — if users always click the 3rd result, the 1st result may not be useful enough. Learn more about Click Analytics & CTR Tracking.
Export CSV / PDF
Download your analytics data as a CSV spreadsheet or a formatted PDF report. Share with your team, import into Excel, or archive for compliance.
All analytics views support custom date ranges. Filter by today, last 7 days, last 30 days, or pick any custom start and end date. Compare periods to see trends.
Live Query Stream
The live query stream shows every search request hitting your index in real time. Each query is color-coded by response time so you can instantly spot slow queries.
Type a word to see only queries containing that word. Useful for monitoring specific search topics.
Show only /select, /suggest, or /update requests. Isolate search queries from indexing operations.
Click any query row to expand it and see the complete request parameters: q, fq, fl, sort, all facet params, and the raw response.
Error Log & Audit
The error log gives you instant visibility into anything going wrong with your index. Every error is recorded, categorized, and linked to a potential fix.
Tail Error Log
A live-streaming view of your Solr error log. New errors appear at the top in real time. Like running tail -f on the log file, but in your browser.
Auto-Matched FAQ Solutions
Every error is automatically matched to a relevant FAQ article from the Opensolr knowledge base. Click the FAQ link next to any error to see the recommended fix. For searchable error history, see the Error Audit guide.
Filterable by Everything
Filter the error audit by date range, severity level (Critical, Error, Warning), and error type. Drill down to exactly the errors you care about.
Click for Full Details
Click any error row to expand it and see the full stack trace, the query that caused it, and the Solr log entry. Everything you need to diagnose the issue.
Server Monitor
The server monitor shows you the health of the server that hosts your Opensolr index. CPU, memory, disk, and load averages are updated in near real-time.
CPU
Current processor usage across all cores.
Memory
RAM usage including JVM heap allocation.
Disk
Total disk space used by your index data and logs.
Load Avg
System load average (1 min). Below 1.0 means healthy.
Bandwidth Usage
Every Opensolr plan includes a monthly bandwidth allowance. The bandwidth page shows how much data transfer your index has used this month, with a visual progress bar toward your plan limit.
Opensolr sends you an email alert when you reach 80% and 95% of your monthly bandwidth. If you regularly exceed your limit, consider upgrading your plan for more bandwidth at a better per-GB rate. You can also set up automated weekly reports — see Weekly Error Digest.
