Create a Machine
Learn how to add a machine to your Artemis Search project
You must have created a Project in Artemis Search before you can add a Machine. See our guide on creating a project for more information.
Steps to Add a Machine
Navigate to the Project Page
Open the Artemis Search dashboard and select the project that you’d like to create a machine for.
Locate the Machines Card
On the project page, find the “Machines” card. This card displays a table of all current machines in your project.
Click 'Add Machine'
At the bottom of the Machines table, click the “Add Machine” button.
Wait for Machine Creation
The process of creating a new machine will begin. This may take some time, so please remain on the page until the process completes.
Do not navigate away from the page while the machine is being created, as this may interrupt the process.
Verify Machine Status
Once the machine creation process is complete, you should see the new machine listed in the Machines table.
After Creating a Machine
Once you’ve successfully created a machine:
- Your project will become active if you’ve already activated a dataset
- The new machine will automatically start handling search requests
- You can monitor its performance in the Project Status card on the project page
If you need to add multiple machines, you can repeat this process as needed. Remember, more machines can help handle higher loads, but may also increase costs.
