8.4.4.3. Configuring MCollective for Redundant ActiveMQ Services

Edit the /opt/rh/ruby193/root/etc/mcollective/client.cfg file on a broker host to configure MCollective to use a pool of ActiveMQ services. Likewise, edit the /opt/rh/ruby193/root/etc/mcollective/server.cfg file on a node host to do the same. In either case, replace the single ActiveMQ host connection with a pool configuration as shown in the following example.

Example 8.6. Example MCollective Configuration File

connector = activemq 
plugin.activemq.pool.size = 3
plugin.activemq.pool.1.host=activemq1.example.com
plugin.activemq.pool.1.port=61613
plugin.activemq.pool.1.user=mcollective
plugin.activemq.pool.1.password=marionette
plugin.activemq.pool.2.host=activemq2.example.com
plugin.activemq.pool.2.port=61613
plugin.activemq.pool.2.user=mcollective
plugin.activemq.pool.2.password=marionette
plugin.activemq.pool.3.host=activemq3.example.com
plugin.activemq.pool.3.port=61613
plugin.activemq.pool.3.user=mcollective
plugin.activemq.pool.3.password=marionette

Replace the user names and passwords with those you have configured on the ActiveMQ brokers.

Note

If you use the kickstart bash script, the configure_mcollective_for_activemq_on_broker fuction performs this step on the broker host, while the configure_mcollective_for_activemq_on_node function performs this step on the node host.
