Failover protection 

Load Balancing

Combining Fail-Over protection and Load Balancing 

You can add a bridge to both types of clusters simultaneously, allowing it to be configured for load balancing and fail-over protection concurrently. This provides an optimal balance between workload distribution and system reliability. However, it's important to ensure that all bridges grouped in the cluster are associated with the same module to enable a seamless task handover process.  

1. If all the bridges in the cluster are down, the task will get aborted or task execution will be failed.
   
2. The cluster operates only before a task is executed. If the bridge encounters issues after the task is assigned, the cluster concept does not apply.

1. Click the settings gear icon   at the top-right corner of the header bar.
2. Navigate to Advanced >> Bridge, then choose Cluster.
3. Click New Cluster.
4. Fill in the new cluster details: 
   
1. Name: Provide a unique name for the cluster.
   
2. Type: Select the type of cluster.  
   
1. Failover
   
2. Load Balancing
3. Bridge Name: Select the Bridge names that are to be added to the cluster from the Multi-select list.
   

5. Click Save.
