When having multiple DataMiner agents in your cluster you want to spread the client load between them. How can this be achieved?
Ideally, we only have one address so probably we would need to look at load balancers, but not sure if this can be configured for Cube access for example.
You could set up 1 DNS name that translates into multiple virtual IPs of the DMAs in your cluster. Then the DNS name goes round robin over each IP when browsing to that domain name.
Note that this is not really load balancing but it’s quite easy to install. I know some DataMiner users that do this for Cube.
Personally I experienced sometimes issues when using the web dashboards and apps. It suddenly used another IP to connect and I lost connection to my dashboard until I refreshed.
You could also set-up a load balancer (for example HAProxy) on that 1 DNS name. The load balancer should start a session on the first request and forward the requests to the same DMA within the same session (“session persistence”). Then you won’t have issues with Dashboards/Low-code Apps.
