System Control Menu
The System Control menu contains the following options, see image below.
System Control
With system control, 2 actions can be taken:
- Index Files
- Failover Status
Index Files
Troubleshoot option to trigger the index files for the ForecastingShells to be rebuilt when this has not happened automatically or in the unusual circumstance that the index files are corrupted. When the Reindex button is used a command is given to one of the available forecasting shells to rebuild the index files. The index files will be stored in the central database. Normally the index files are automatically expired after a day and will be automatically rebuilt.
Failover Status
Failover Priorities
The Failover priorities options can be used to configure on which Master Controller to run failover tasks in case of failover mode.
Failover mode can be activated by the following situations:
- when another MC is not reachable (systemmonitor has registered the remote queue proxy for the remote master-controller as being down).
- when an MC is marked to be failed over using manual failover.
Top master-controller
The Failover priorities page allows users to define in what situations a master-controller becomes a top master-controller. In order to become a top master-controller, the active status should be active, and all the higher ranked (i.e. smallest integer value) priority master-controllers should be unavailable or marked as manual failover. Once a master-controller has become the top master-controller it starts picking up failover tasks owned by other master-controllers.
Add/Edit Priority
The priorities can be created or edited (by clicking a row) and can only be altered to a unique number so that the order is changed.
Synchronization
Toggles the mc synchronization (pull) from another MC.
