Editing the Multi-Cluster Configuration File

The clusters.conf template resides in the instances/instance_name/conf directory on each of the nodes in your cluster. Locate this template on the cluster you want to identify as the master cluster; that is the web server that hosts the multi-cluster web page.

The configuration file consists of the following values separated by colons:

SERVER : HOST : PORT : TABGROUP : AUTOLOGIN : SSL

For example:

Miracle:www.miracle.com:28080:Production:True:false
Deforest:10.81.17.186:28080:Development:False:false
Grandalpha:grandalpha:32020:Development:False:false

All fields are required.

SERVER

The server value is a primary key, used to uniquely identify each GPCC cluster. This is the display name in the UI. An error message is thrown if there are any duplicate entries in this column. The name may not contain special characters, other than the space character, underscore (_), or hyphen (-).

HOST

This is the GPCC hostname or IP address to contact to get health information.

PORT

The port number on which the GPCC is running.

TABGROUP

This field is used to categorize GPCC clusters; for example, Production, Testing, and Deployment.

AUTOLOGIN

It takes a true or false value. The value is not case sensitive. Any other value is an error, which will be shown in the UI.

SSL

This field indicates whether SSL is enabled for the host.

It takes a true or false value. The value is not case sensitive. Any other value is an error, which will be shown in the UI.
