Grid Manager

Grid Manager

The grid manager controls how the various RulePoint entities work in the run-time environment.
At a broad level, the grid manager performs the following functions:
  • Manages all configurations of the run-time components.
  • Manages interactions between the various run-time components.
  • Starts the passive grid manager processes.
  • Starts the node processes.
  • Starts the umestored and lbmrd processes.
  • Authenticates and authorizes requests to the exposed APIs.
  • Checks the license file.
  • Deploys or undeploys objects according to requests received from the design UI and maintains the run-time system.
  • Provides high availability and failover of objects by replicating them across multiple instances. The grid manager controls switching from the primary to the secondary controller instance if the primary fails.
  • Monitors the health of the nodes by pinging nodes at regular intervals to verify if the nodes are working.
  • Shares the state of the run-time system with the passive counterpart to ensure a seamless failover when the primary grid manager in high-availability mode is down.
  • Checks the health of host agents.
  • Starts the backup grid manager processes as designated on nodes.
  • Starts nodes, starts the backup grid manager processes on nodes, and adds controllers on nodes, as designated.
  • Brings up the umestored and lbmrd if they go down, and monitors their health.
  • Sends emails when any component fails, if you have configured this option during installation.
