Cluster Details Panel

The Cluster details panel presents the details of a persistence cluster definition. In edit mode, you can modify the parameter values.

Heartbeats and Timeouts

You can adjust the persistence heartbeat and timeout parameters, which detect persistence service availability. For best results, use the default values, except to resolve specific issues or as directed by TIBCO personnel.

GUI Parameter Description
Service to Client

Persistence Heartbeat

The leader persistence service sends heartbeats to its clients at this interval, in seconds.
Service to Client

Timeout Interval

When the leader’s heartbeat is silent for this interval, in seconds, its clients seek to connect to a new leader from among the other services in the cluster.

When a client's heartbeat is silent for this interval, the persistence service clears all state associated with the client.

Service to Service

Persistence Heartbeat

Persistence services in the cluster exchange heartbeats at this interval, in seconds.
Service to Service

Timeout Interval

When the heartbeat of any service in the cluster is silent for this interval, in seconds, the remaining services attempt to form a new quorum.

Message Swapping

You can enable or disable the ability for this cluster's store to use disk swap space when needed. Click the toggle switch to turn this feature on or off.

GUI Parameter JSON Attribute Description
Message Swapping disk_mode Toggle switch to enable or disable message swapping for this cluster. The default setting is Disabled. Enabled is equivalent to disk_mode = swap.

When message swapping is enabled, the server can swap messages from process memory to disk. Swapping allows the server to free process memory for more incoming messages, and to process message volume in excess of memory limit. When the server swaps a message to disk, a small record of the swapped message remains in memory.

Note: When using message swapping, if all FTL servers in the cluster are restarted simultaneously, messages in the store prior to the restart are not retrievable after the restart.

Externally Reachable Addresses

When using persistence with zones of clusters that use an auto inter-cluster transport to address the cluster (or to address a load balancer's interface), use this field to identify one or more ports for the core servers of this cluster (or the port for the load balancer).

GUI Parameter Description
Host Enter either an IP address or a resolvable hostname.
Port Enter the port number to use to access this host.
