Logging cluster plugin parameters

By default, PolicyCenter logs cluster-related information at the INFO level in the server log. The cluster information that PolicyCenter provides includes information on where the bind parameter values come, for example, from the bind property default or from a parameter definition in the plugin editor.

Ephemeral port values

Unless you provide a value for the bindPort value on the ClusterUnicastTransportFactory plugin, PolicyCenter randomly selects a free port above 1024 that is within a range supplied by the host operating system. You can view information on an ephemeral port in the server log. Look for information that looks similar to the following:

Server.Cluster.PointToPoint Listener(host, port=#####): Listening

Cluster logging examples

In the first logging example, the cluster installation enables both the ClusterFastBroadcastFactory and ClusterUnicastTransportFactory plugins. The installation does not, however, provide separate values for the bind parameters for these plugins. Notice, therefore, that the following logging example provides information for both plugins and indicates that bind values are the default values (first address of the first network interface).

19:50:30,131 INFO Server.Cluster Starting cluster channel...
19:51:45,885 INFO Server.Cluster.FastUdpMulticast Bind address is /nn.nn.n.nnn 
      (first address of the first network interface)

19:51:48,047 INFO Server.Cluster.PointToPoint Bind address is /nn.nn.n.nnn

19:51:48,954 INFO Server.Cluster.FastUdpMulticast Started on /nn.nn.n.nnn

19:51:49,290 INFO Server.Cluster Inserted new record for prod1 node into cluster table
19:51:49,303 INFO Server.Cluster Cluster channel started.

In the second logging example, the cluster installation again enables both the ClusterFastBroadcastFactory and ClusterUnicastTransportFactory plugins. In this case, however, the installation provide a value for the ClusterUnicastTransportFactory.bindPort parameter, which is 53870, defined in the plugin editor for this plugin.
