Automatic transfer of active connections between nodes in gateway farm
1 vote
Hi Devolutions,
If we perform "Drain" of the node, this does not automatically transfer active connections from the node in drain mode to the node which is still active.
This is an issue when we are performing the update of the gateway nodes, as we need to "kill" the connections going over the node that is about to be updated. And then the user needs to reconnect manually.
Would it be possible to build a mechanism, that would automatically "move" the active connections to the other node if the current node is in drain mode?
Even briefly "disconnecting" the connection, and re-establishing it over the active node would be fine.
Hi,
The drain mode is there to stop sending new connections to a node in drain mode, without disconnecting previously active connections on that node. After a while, the number of sessions should be close to zero, unless you have very long-lived sessions. Actively transferring active connections to a different node is not a small feature request, but we'll take it into consideration.
Best regards,
