ClusterInfoTool

3 minute readAutomation

Use ClusterInfoTool to get information on the running CloudBees CD/RO server cluster from ZooKeeper.

Prerequisites

  • The CloudBees CD/RO server cluster must be installed and running on the network.

  • Configuration files that all CloudBees CD/RO server nodes will use in a clustered configuration must be uploaded to the Apache ZooKeeper server using the ZKConfigTool.

  • The ZooKeeper cluster must be running an odd number of Zookeeper nodes, and there must be a leader node.

  • The system must be running the version of Java installed with CloudBees CD/RO.

Locations

The CloudBees CD/RO installer adds the ClusterInfoTool to the following default locations:

  • Windows: C:\Program Files\CloudBees\Software Delivery Automation\server\bin\cluster-info-tool-jar-with-dependencies.jar

  • Linux: /opt/cloudbees/sda/server/bin/cluster-info-tool-jar-with-dependencies.jar

ClusterInfoTool Command Syntax

IPv6 addresses are only supported for Kubernetes platforms. If using an IPv6 address, enclose the address in square brackets. Example: [<IPv6-ADDRESS>].

ClusterInfoTool requires that the DCOMMANDER_ZK_CONNECTION environment variable is set so that it can locate your ZooKeeper nodes. You can set the variable by using the Linux export command beforehand or inline as part of the command for the ClusterInfoTool command itself:

$ export COMMANDER_ZK_CONNECTION=<ZooKeeper_Server1_IP>:2181,<ZooKeeper_Server2_IP>:2181,<ZooKeeper_Server3_IP>:2181 $ java -jar cluster-info-tool-jar-with-dependencies.jar [<arguments>]

or

$ java -DCOMMANDER_ZK_CONNECTION=<ZooKeeper_Server1_IP>:2181,<ZooKeeper_Server2_IP>:2181,<ZooKeeper_Server3_IP>:2181 -jar cluster-info-tool-jar-with-dependencies.jar [<arguments>]
Argument Description

--user < flow_username >

(Optional) Specifies the CloudBees CD/RO server username to connect. You are prompted for a username if you do not specify this argument.

--password < flow_password >

(Optional) Specifies the CloudBees CD/RO server user password to connect. You are prompted for a password if you do not specify this argument.

--serverUrl < flow_server_url >

(Optional) Specifies the CloudBees CD/RO server URL to connect. You are prompted for the URL if you do not specify this argument.

--ignoreCerts

(Optional) Ignores non-trusted self-signed certificates.

--cleanJGroupsData

(Optional) Clears out JGroups cluster data.

--help

(Optional) Shows usage information.

Interpreting ClusterInfoTool Command Output

How to interpret ClusterInfoTool output:

  • The nodes /commander/jgroups/activeMQ and /commander/jgroups/commander contain information on these JGroups clusters:

    • commander for the CloudBees CD/RO server cluster

    • activeMQ for the activeMQ cluster

  • The child nodes under each JGroups node represent the participating CloudBees CD/RO servers in the cluster. Each child node entry is in this form:

    <Logical_Name> <UUID> <IP_address>:<port> T|F
  • The number of entries in both JGroups nodes should be the same, with matching IP addresses but with different port numbers and distinct logical names and UUIDs. The coordinator node in each JGroups cluster is identified with a T against its entry.
