Application server clustering
Planon supports clustering, enabling application servers to communicate with each other.
Using this feature enables you to:
• Have a flexible setup.
• Improve the availability of the application.
• Balance the number of web servers and applications servers based on usage (the number of users).
By default, WildFly uses port 7600 to communicate between the WildFly servers.
 | If you are using the same machine for installing the application server, you need to offset the ports (for example: 7600 and 7601). If you install the application servers on separate machines, you can use the default port number 7600. |
The information about the application servers that are part of the cluster is saved in the Planon database.
When starting up an application server with the same database, the cluster information will automatically be registered.
