Jira Data Center Setup

Siddique Afraaz N February 9, 2024 edited

We are trying to setup a clustered Jira Data Center for Testing an Application
 Is load balancer mandatory even for testing a clustered data center? if so, is there any detailed guide to setup a simple load balancer for no more than two nodes?

Hi @Siddique Afraaz N 


Yes, you will need a load balancer to test cluster of data center to confirm if both the nodes data is syncing with each other or not as with the help of load balancer user traffic will get redirected to the nodes in round robin fashion. This way you can able to see if user traffic is getting redirected to all nodes or not.

You can use the simple load balancer like Apache, Nginx or HAproxy to test your data center cluster.

You can install these load balancer either on separate server or any of the Jira node.

Please refer the below example document for setting up the Apache, Ngnix, HAProxy Load balancer

Nginx - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-set-up-nginx-plus-as-the-load-balancer-for-a-jira-data-center-cluster-640516559.html
