Managing the cluster through the JMX interface
During initialisation, the GraphDB-Enterprise master node registers a JMX Bean component, which provides methods for monitoring and managing the running cluster. It is registered under "ReplicationCluster:name=ClusterInfo" signature and can be accessed through the standard Java instrumentation tools, e.g. JConsole. The rest of this section provides details about the attributes and operations available.

Management Operations
| Name |
addClusterNode |
| Parameters |
nodeURI: String - A string holding the full URI of the Sesame end point of the new node, e.g. http://58.181.33.153:8080/openrdf-sesame/repositories/worker1
- replicationPort: int - The port number to use for replication activity.
- remoteNotificationsPort: int - The port number used for emitting remote notifications, this can be left blank if it is not required, see remote notifications.
- readable: boolean - If set to false (the default is true), then this worker node will receive only updates and will not particpate in sharing the cluster's query load.
|
| Description |
Add a new worker node to the cluster. If the node is a duplicate of an existing one then no error is logged. The same will also happen if the node pointed by the argument is not available. |
| Interface method |
public void addClusterNode(String nodeURI, int replicationPort); |
| Name |
backup |
| Parameters |
backupDirectory : String - The full path to a directory on the master node where a backup image will be stored |
| Description |
Initiates a backup from a healthy, in-synch worker node to the given directory on the master node. |
| Interface method |
public void backup(String backupDirectory); |
| Name |
cancelReplication |
| Parameters |
none |
| Description |
Cancels a full replication operation. This can be useful for recovering from stalled replication events, such as when two workers start replicating between themselves, but a network failure prevents this from finishing. |
| Interface method |
public void cancelReplication(); |
| Name |
changeSystemTransactionPassword |
| Parameters |
oldPassword : String - The old password
- newPassword : String - The new password
- newPasswordRetype : String - The new password repeated
|
| Description |
Change the system transaction password. System transactions include a statement with a special predicate that instructs GraphDB to allow modifications to the imported, read-only schemas/ontologies. The replication cluster introduces a password for such transactions and this must appear in the object position of the 'special' statement, e.g.
This operation is used to set/change the password.
|
| Interface method |
{{public void changeSystemTransactionPassword(String oldPassword, String newPassword, String newPasswordRetype); |
| Name |
clearTransactionLog |
| Parameters |
none |
| Description |
Clear the transaction log. |
| Interface method |
public void clearTransactionLog(); |
| Name |
removeClusterNode |
| Parameters |
nodeURI : String - A string holding the full URI of the Sesame end point of the node to be removed. |
| Description |
Removes a node from the cluster. Invoking this operation will neither generate an exception nor log an error message. |
| Interface method |
public void removeClusterNode(String message); |
| Name |
restoreFromImage |
| Parameters |
backupDirectory : String - The full path to a directory on the master node where a backup image will be restored from. |
| Description |
Initiates a restore from the given directory on the master node. The image will be replicated to each worker node in turn. |
| Interface method |
public void restoreFromImage(String backupDirectory); |
| Name |
startReplication |
| Parameters |
none |
| Description |
Manually initiate a replication procedure. A random node with the most recent state is selected to propagate its state to those that are in [NEEDS-UPDATE] state. During the operation the node that replicates its state is excluded from available nodes and does not process read requests until it is finished with the replication. |
| Interface method |
public void startReplication(); |
Notifications
The ReplicationCluster MBean generates notifications for certain events. Users can receive these notifications by subscribing to this MBean (using jconsole, click on the notifications element, then click subscribe). The type and text of these notifications varies, but the following kinds of events are notified:
- A control query has completed or failed to complete;
- An RDF statement update has failed, been delayed or timed-out;
- An RDF read event could not occur (no available workers);
- A cluster worker node has been added or removed;
- A worker node status has changed;
- A worker node update has failed;
- A worker node is low on disk space;
- Replication (full/incremental) has started, stopped, failed.
