How do I configure analytics server load balancing?

Purpose

Perform this procedure to manage load balancing if more than one analytics server is in use.

If load balancing is disabled, analytics server sessions are managed according to the order the analytics servers connected to the NSP component. Every user session in Analytics connects to the first analytics server to connect to the NSP component. If the first server is down, application sessions will connect to the next server.

Load balancing can be configured with the following policies:

  • round-robin: Every user session request to Analytics is sent to the next analytics server in the list

  • round-robin-with-stickiness: The round-robin system is used the first time a browser connects to Analytics. Browser cookies are used to bind the browser to the same analytics server for future sessions.

Steps
 
1 

Open Data Collection and Analysis Management, Analytics Server Management. The System Settings form opens.

2 

Configure the Load Balancing Policy parameter.

3 

Save your changes and close the form.
