Will Confluence cluster will accept hostnames instead of pod ip address

[Bhanu Teja M]

I am installing confluence cluster on kubernetes. As installation is completed successfully and i have checked in general section --> clustering i can see only one pod ip. if i delete pod it will get new ip and confluence cluster will throw out old ip and will not add new ip.
So is there any way that confluence will accept hostnames instead of ip address.

Hi Bhanu,

Are you talking about "Cluster Address" section on Clustering page? These IP addresses are defined in a file called "<confluence-home>/confluence.cfg.xml. They should look like this:

<property name="confluence.cluster.address">224.222.163.162</property>
<property name="confluence.cluster.name">atlassian_cluster</property>

You can modify the file to add new cluster node IP addresses here. If you want to change the cluster node name to a human-readable name, you can do so by adding below to setenv.sh file;

CATALINA_OPTS=“-Dconfluence.cluster.node.name=node1 ${CATALINA_OPTS}”

You can also find other system related properties for confluence here.

Hope it helps.

@Bhanu Teja M,  as of now hostnames cannot be added. Only IP can be added
