Extension Load Balancing on Active Gate Groups

[mmevanson]

Hello community,

Would someone know exactly how extensions are distributed on an Active Gate group.   We use several database extensions and they seem to be all running on one of the two active gates in the group.  I was under the impression that load would be distributed to both active gates in the group.   Is this incorrect?
It would seem to make more sense to balance load across the two... rather than load one up and have the other as a hot standby.

Thoughts or direction to any documentation on Active Gate load balancing (not using an external loadbalancer) would be much appreciated!

Hi,

I am impression than you, not sure if that is documented somewhere, one up and have the other as a hot standby.

If you check logs, you can see sometimes extesion is only executed in one, until it is restarted or unavailable.

Best regards

Thank you, but this doesn't really explain how it works.  I'm interested in knowing how the active gates know how to distribute and run extensions in an active gate group.

Hi,

Yes, it means, looks like something internal, not shared from public. I hope someone from Dynatrace can answer you, because I am interested as well.

Best regards
