Add Machine allows you to add a new machine to be controlled by this Yioop instance.

The Machine Name field lets you give this machine an easy to remember name.

The Machine URL field should be filled in with the URL to the installed Yioop instance.

The Type/Channel controls, if set to a natural number, the channel that the queue servers and fetchers of this machine will use. The given machine will then only participate in crawls assigned to this channel number. If Type/Channel is set to Replica Server , then a Parent Dropdown will appear where one can select the machine that the given machine will mirror. Mirroring is only supported for now for query results. If a Mirror server is created and turned on, then query results needed from the parent server will alternately come from the Mirror server or its parent.

Finally, if Type/Channel is set to a natural number, the Number of Fetchers drop down allows you to say how many fetcher instances you want to be able to manage for that machine.
