A node represents an IceGrid node that starts and monitors your servers. Several applications can be deployed on the same node; however a node descriptor describes only the servers defined by the enclosing application.
Properties
The Node Properties panel offers the following fields:
- Name The name of the node. This name must match the IceGrid.Node.Name configuration property of the node process.
- Description A free-text description of this node.
- Variables This table shows node-level IceGrid variables.
- Load Factor A floating point value by which the registry multiplies the node's load when the Adaptive load-balancing policy ranks the nodes from least to most loaded. The node's load is its load average on Linux and macOS, and its CPU utilization on Windows. When this value is blank, the IceGrid registry uses the default: 1.0 divided by the number of hardware threads on Linux and macOS, and 1.0 on Windows, which puts both on the same scale, the share of the node's processing capacity in use. A larger factor makes the node rank as more loaded.
Children
A node can have two types of children:
