TIBCO Spotfire Server 3.2.2 - TIBCO Product Documentation

Load Balancing
7.4 Load Balancer Configuration
The load balancer needs to be configured so that it will be able to find and
communicate with the Spotfire Servers.
1 Install Apache httpd.
2 Install the mod_jk module. Refer to the Apache httpd manual for instructions on how
to do this.
3 Add the following to workers.properties (you may need to create this file):
# Define worker list
# (All workers with additional exposed applications must also be added here,
# and don't forget to add the corresponding JkMount option in mod_jk.conf!)
worker.list=jkstatus, loadbalancer
# Example: the /admin application on worker1 should be exposed through the load balancer
#worker.list=jkstatus, loadbalancer, worker1
# Set status
worker.jkstatus.type=status
# Set properties for the load balancer
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=worker1, worker2
worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=true
worker.loadbalancer.method=Session
# Set properties for worker1 (ajp13)
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=[SpotfireServer1Hostname]
worker.worker1.port=8009
worker.worker1.max_packet_size=65536
worker.worker1.lbfactor=1
worker.worker1.route=[SpotfireServer1Hostname]-srv
# Set properties for worker2 (ajp13)
worker.worker2.type=ajp13
worker.worker2.host=[SpotfireServer2Hostname]
worker.worker2.port=8009
worker.worker2.max_packet_size=65536
worker.worker2.lbfactor=1
worker.worker2.route=[SpotfireServer2Hostname]-srv
Change [SpotfireServer1Hostname] to the hostname or IP address of your first
Spotfire Server, [SpotfireServer2Hostname] to the name of your second Spotfire
Server, and so forth.
Note: The AJP route is automatically set to “[SpotfireServerHostname]-srv” on the
Spotfire Server end at installation, that is the hostname of the server suffixed by “-
srv”.
