Determining if a specific node is a slave or master

fungwc May 26, 2016 10:10 AM

I am in need of trying to figure out if a specific node in a cluster is slave or master. The reason for this is because the F5 that does the load balancing wants to know the information and I know that the nodes can change depending on fail over. So I need to find a way to kind of make a rest API endpoint that they can go to that can tell them if that specific node is a slave or master. Is there an API out there that allows us to get this information programatically? How does the admin console get this information?

Thanks!

Hello.

There is no concept of master/slave in clustering in WildFly. Maybe you mean something else?

In JGroups there is a concept of "coordinator" which you can find out using clustering API, see org.wildfly.clustering.group.Group#isCoordinator.
In Infinispan, there is concept of "primary" and backup owner which pertains to each key, not node.
Domain management-wise there is a domain controller (master) from which nodes fetch their configuration.
