Clustering

[Jennifer Sambuco]

I'm looking for documentation on clustering a fisheye installation so that we can have two nodes running for redundancy - similar to the way Jira or Confluence data center installations can be clustered. I'm having trouble finding information on it - or I am finding old answers suggesting that FishEye cannot be clustered. 

I would appreciate an assist on whether this kind of implementation is feasible.

Hi @Jennifer Sambuco

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

Fisheye and Crucible aren't designed to support clustering like Jira or Confluence Data Center. That means there's no option for multi-node or load-balanced setups, so setting up a true active-active environment isn't possible.

To add a layer of safety, consider using a cold standby setup. You can run a second instance with the same license, ensuring its index and configuration are kept in sync with regular backups or shared storage. If the primary system encounters an issue, you can switch over either manually or using your standard VM-level HA tools.

Cheers, Martin
