In an effort to make Guided Search deployments more fault tolerant, the Application Controller automatically restarts servers that crash.

You can configure the number of times the Application Controller attempts to restart a server within a specified time window. If the server crashes more than the specified number of times in the specified time window, then it is marked as failed.

Both of these variables are set in eac.properties. The com.endeca.eac.process.maxServerRestartsPerWindow setting defaults to five, while com.endeca.eac.process.serverRestartTimeWindowMins defaults to one.
