Modifying Hidden Zendesk Source Parameters

The Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool present the parameters with which you can configure the connector for most Zendesk setups. More advanced and more rarely used parameters are hidden. You can choose to make one or more of these parameters appear in the Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool so that you can change their default value. Consider changing values of hidden parameters when you encounter issues.

The following list describes the advanced hidden parameters available with Zendesk sources. The parameter type (integer, string, etc.) appears between parentheses following the parameter name.

NumberOfRefreshThreads (Integer)

The number of refresh threads used by the crawler for this source. The default value is 4.
