Load balancing in the Control Center

Prev Next

Log in to the Node Controller through the GUI. The system rejects logins at a Worker Node. Then open the Control Center and go to the running profiles.

There you centrally see all running jobs. The overview covers the Node Controller and all Worker Nodes. Select the node you want.

System, DMZ, Loadbalancing view

NOTE: Available as of release 26.2.

Open Administration > Base settings > System, DMZ, Loadbalancing. The view lists all known, active Worker Nodes. It also shows all DMZ servers of the cluster. You can control many of these options over HTTP. See System stop, Load Balancing, DMZ server, profile quickview (REST API).

Assign all Worker Nodes there. Only include nodes that take part in Load balancing. Your load balancing system is now set up.
