Infrastructure Data Collector Clustering for Load Sharing

Infrastructure Data Collector supports clustering for load sharing. This is useful in case your system contains a large number of assets and components, or you wish to position Infrastructure Data Collector closer to the components that you are monitoring. With this clustering mode it is possible to install multiple instances of Infrastructure Data Collector and use them to collect data and send it to Analytic Engine.

To configure Infrastructure Data Collector clustering for load sharing

1. Install several Infrastructure Data Collector instances in your environment.

2. Start all installed Infrastructure Data Collector instances.

3. In My webMethods, configure the Infrastructure Data Collector instances.

Important:
On the Define Environments > Configure Servers page, under Collector Settings for Infrastructure Data Collector, make sure you register each Infrastructure Data Collector instance with a unique Collector Name, and that you point all instances to the same JMS URL.

For more information about defining collector settings for Infrastructure Data Collector, see Configuring BAM.

4. In My webMethods, on the Discovery Assets page, select the Infrastructure Data Collector instance that will monitor each asset.

Note:
To avoid data duplication, make sure you do not discover the same asset twice with different Infrastructure Data Collector instances.
