Overview

If you have more than one Intermediary instance performing similar functions or a type of function then it might be a requirement to see them as one node.

Information

Make sure to delete any Intermediary nodes that might be showing up as unmanaged nodes at http://host:4040/lgserver/admin/services/nodes/node_list.jsp before proceeding.

Create a provisioning profile and make sure to add the following block for every instance that you have, with the condition that the -Dcom.actional.lg.interceptor.sdk.ServerInstance system property should be different for every instance but -Dactional.agent.nodeid & -Dactional.agent.nodename system properties should be the same for all the nodes, which will be the name for the group of nodes as represented. Note that this works on the Enterprise version.

An example of the above configuration is shown below for two instances(named server-01 & server-02) which will be represented as a single node, named INTERMEDIARY:

-Dcom.actional.lg.interceptor.sdk.ServerInstance=server-01
-Dactional.agent.nodeid=INTERMEDIARY
-Dactional.agent.nodename=INTERMEDIARY

-Dcom.actional.lg.interceptor.sdk.ServerInstance=server-02
-Dactional.agent.nodeid=INTERMEDIARY
-Dactional.agent.nodename=INTERMEDIARY

Restart the Intermediary instances. The traffic through both instances can be seen in the Item Breakdown view in Monitor.
