Zend Platform manages clusters to make them available and manageable from a single location – the Central Server. Clusters are identified as a single unit for monitoring purposes . However, each node in the cluster can be individually accessed from the Central Server.
To add servers:
Run the Zend Platform Node Installation Process (Read the Installation Guide for details on Node installation).
From Zend Platform’s Central Tab select the Console option and choose: Manage Servers/Groups.
This will open a new dialog for managing Servers and Groups. Zend Platform automatically identifies registered servers and displays them in the Manage Servers tab.
Note:
All Server information is stored in the Central Server’s Database
The installation script already sets server aliases . This will become the server’s name for identification and Event Report details and all references to servers.
Go to the Manage Groups tab and create a group according to these steps:
Assign a group name.
Select aggregated to indicate that Event information should be aggregated for the nodes in the group.
Press Add and then Apply.
Groups are created for three distinct purposes:
To aggregate Events across nodes (only if the nodes are running the same Web application).
To enable configurations to be automatically applied to other servers belonging to the same group (using the Clone Configurations feature).
To facilitate handling and managing groups of servers.
Note:
Groups should only be aggregated when the PHP application on all servers in the group is identical.
Return to the Manage Servers tab and apply group names to the listed servers.
Server management settings are as follows:
GUI Directory - the location of the server’s GUI Installation.
SSL - check the box if the server supports SSL.
Port - Specify the port with which the specific server works.
Remove - removes the server from the database (unregistered) and deletes all events related to the removed server.
These settings should only be changed if changes that may affect these settings, occurred since the node installation.
Note:
To add a Removed server you can re-register by going to the server and running: …<install dir>/bin/register_node.sh
Once the servers have been configured and grouped, Event Triggers can be defined.
