https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.4.8/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_zkCommands

 

If the telnet command is not available, it can be used in the Windows console (with administrator rights) as follows

can be installed:

pkgmgr /iu:'TelnetClient'

3. Monitoring commands for Solr

The status of a Solr instance can be queried via FTS-Index/bin/solr.cmd:

 

In addition, the status information can also be queried as JSON: http://localhost:8983/solr/WebOffice/admin/system

 

The Solr Admin UI is available as follows: http://localhost:8983/solr/

 

4. Debugging

If the services are not available as desired, it is necessary to check the individual components to find out what is already running successfully and where the problems must be dealt with.

 

It is advisable to temporarily stop the service 'WebOffice FTS Index and start Solr manually instead. This is possible via the WebOffice script FTS-Index/bin/solr.cmd.

solr start -p {portnummer}

solr stop -all

solr status

 

Detailed help texts are also available for all available commands:

solr -h

Solr start -h

 

 

Escaping special characters

If errors occur when starting Solr, this can be due to invalid characters in configured values, e.g. because a special character such as a parenthesis or similar must be escaped.

 

For the paths to the keystores  (SOLR_SSL_KEY_STORE und SOLR_SSL_TRUST_STORE) in the configuration file solr.in.cmd a bracket (both the opening and closing) must be masked with five^ (circumflex).
