Quarantine Broker Constraints
There is no finer configuration to direct Engine instances to specific Brokers using this feature.
Due to the fact that there is only one quarantine Broker defined in a grid, several issues might arise as a result:
| • | Quarantined Engines that don’t collocate with the quarantine Broker need to send traffic over the WAN. |
| • | If the Quarantine Broker is not up or accessible, quarantined Engines cannot log in to any Brokers in the grid. This might generate heavy login retry load when the network is partitioned or unstable. |
| • | Drivers are not treated in any special manner with regard to routing to Quarantine Brokers. This is because some might wish to run tests that require a Driver on Quarantined Engines. Routing rules are required to prevent production Drivers from logging in to Quarantine Brokers. |
