    Local Filesystem V1 Connector Configuration Reference

    Table of Contents

    This connector traverses a network file system (NFS), where a shared drive is mounted to the same location on all hosts in the cluster that are running this connector.

    Configuration

    When entering configuration values in the UI, use unescaped characters, such as \t for the tab character. When entering configuration values in the API, use escaped characters, such as \\t for the tab character.

    Connector for filesystems locally mounted to the Fusion server.

    The number of crawls after which an alias will expire. The default is 1 crawl.

    commitAfterItems - integer

    Commit the crawlDB to disk after this many items have been received. A smaller number here will result in a slower crawl because of commits to disk being more frequent; conversely, a larger number here will cause a resumed job after a crash to need to recrawl more records.
