Setup Jira DC with F5 Load Balancer

[Long Nguyen - Candylio]

Hi,

I can not find how to configure F5 for Jira DC load balancing? Could someone share the document link?

Best regards,

Long

Hi @Long Nguyen - Candylio

not able to recall where I read it lately but there was a sentence like F5 are complex load balancers and each scenario is different - probably this is why you cannot see a document in a prominent place.
However, some ideas:

The page "Jira Data Center Load Balancer examples" (https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/jira-data-center-load-balancer-examples-781200827.html) is more of a general summary.
With F5 I found documentation which could or could not match your environment (https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/agc/5.0/saml-saas-applications/JiraforDataCenter.html).

But, maybe, the best finding is that F5 seems to have a Community, like Atlassian Community - looks it is called dev/central, you could Google for it.
In case you will be stuck with load balancer configuration it *might* be worth having a discussion over there.

Overall you surely could wait for more input but I am in doubt if admins who run a F5 loadbalancer will check in here short-hand.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thank you, I already found this one, but is it any documents about Jira?
