cluster.properties file get jira.node.id ID automatically, like the hostname.

[Lessandro]

Hello, I would like to edit the cluster.properties file to the parameter jira.node.id get an ID automatically, for example the hostname.

It is possible? If so, how?

Thanks in advance!

You mean, You did the same as Jira for Confluence ?  Could you please explain more about this ?

Thank you so much

In /opt/confluence/bin/setenv.sh (your directory may differ) I have the following line:

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dconfluence.cluster.node.name=${HOSTNAME} ${CATALINA_OPTS}"

When Confluence starts up this automatically sets the name of the node to the hostname.

On the Jira side, you can't have a variable in the cluster.properties file. The script from @Lessandro is a hack useful trick that modifies the file before Jira is run.

Hi, 

I got it.

Basically I created a bash script to add automatically the hostname in the file. Something like this:

HOST=$HOSTNAME
JIRANODE="jira.node.id = "$HOST
sed -i "2s/.*/$JIRANODE/" /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/cluster.properties

This bash is executed in every reboot via cron.

Ick.

In Confluence you can do the $HOSTNAME trick. Sad that you can't do something similar in Jira. Not the answer I was hoping for, but it is an answer.
