Reconfiguring Other Runnables
After the Elasticsearch, you must reconfigure other runnables and specify the order in which they must be started.
1. Reconfigure Kibana runnable on all three nodes as follows:
on n1 reconfigure kibana_s kibanacfg.elasticsearch.username="esUserName"
kibanacfg.elasticsearch.password="esPassword"
kibanacfg.elasticsearch.hosts="[\"machine1:esHTTPport\",\"http://machine2:esHTTPport\",
\"http://machine3:esHTTPport\"]" -zookeeper.connect.string

on n2 reconfigure kibana_s kibanacfg.elasticsearch.username="esUserName"
kibanacfg.elasticsearch.password="esPassword"
kibanacfg.elasticsearch.hosts="[\"machine1:esHTTPport\",\"http://machine2:esHTTPport\",
\"http://machine3:esHTTPport\"]" -zookeeper.connect.string

on n3 reconfigure kibana_s kibanacfg.elasticsearch.username="esUserName"
kibanacfg.elasticsearch.password="esPassword"
kibanacfg.elasticsearch.hosts="[\"machine1:esHTTPport\",\"http://machine2:esHTTPport\",
\"http://machine3:esHTTPport\"]" -zookeeper.connect.string
Note:
In the above three commands, replace machine1, machine2, and machine3 with the names or IP addresses of your machines and esHTTPport with Elasticsearch HTTP Port. You can retrieve the HTTP port of an Elasticsearch runnable by running the following command in ACC:
show runnable elastic_s
esUserName and esPassword are the username and password of Elasticsearch that is configured in Step 3 of the previous section.
2. Define two cloudsearch instances, on the nodes n2 and n3, where each one belongs to a different data center:
on n2 reconfigure cloudsearch_s -zookeeper.connect.string
+zookeeper.application.instance.datacenter = n2
on n3 reconfigure cloudsearch_s -zookeeper.connect.string
+zookeeper.application.instance.datacenter = n3
3. Reconfigure the apiportalbundle runnable on the nodes n2 and n3 as follows:
on n2 reconfigure apiportalbundle_s -zookeeper.connect.string
on n3 reconfigure apiportalbundle_s -zookeeper.connect.string
4. Reconfigure the loadbalancer on n1 to point to all three zookeeper cluster members as follows:
on n1 reconfigure loadbalancer_s -zookeeper.connect.string
on n2 reconfigure loadbalancer_s -zookeeper.connect.string
on n3 reconfigure loadbalancer_s -zookeeper.connect.string
API Portal can be accessed through multiple hostnames. If one of the loadbalancer fails, the application can be accessed using the other available loadbalancers. You can ignore this step if external load balancer is not required. If you have an external load balancer Software AG recommends you to place a highly available loadbalancer (HA LB) in front of the loadbalancer runnables. To do this the following has to be added to the loadbalancer runnable configuration:
*HTTPD.servername to specify the hostname or IP address of the HA loadbalancer
*HTTPD.zookeeper.application.instance.port, the port on which the HA loadbalancer receives the http/https requests
*zookeeper.application.instance.scheme which specifies the scheme http/https
For example:
on n1 reconfigure loadbalancer_s HTTPD.servername=HTTPD.servername
HTTPD.zookeeper.application.instance.port=PORT
zookeeper.application.instance.scheme=SCHEME
5. Change the startup order of the runnables by running the following commands:
ACC+ n1>on n1 set runnable.order = "zoo0 < (elastic_s, kibana_s)
< loadbalancer_s"
ACC+ n1>on n2 set runnable.order = "zoo0 < (elastic_s, kibana_s)
< cloudsearch_s < apiportalbundle_s < loadbalancer_s"
ACC+ n1>on n3 set runnable.order = "zoo0 < (elastic_s, kibana_s)
< cloudsearch_s < apiportalbundle_s < loadbalancer_s"
