How to configure remote LFA and UnityEIFReceiver?

How To


Summary

I would like to configure remote LFA and UnityEIFReceiver to distribute the load to remote server.

Steps

1) Use remote_install_tool to install remote instance of UnityEIFReceiver and LFA.
You can follow the instruction from here:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPFMY_1.3.5/com.ibm.scala.doc/config/scala_pinstall_eif_remote_install_t.html

2) Assuming that your remote server hostname is test.my.com. Configure LFA to send data to UnityEIFReceiver:
In <LA_HOME>LogAnalysis//IBM-LFA-6.30/config/lo/<LFA>.conf

ServerLocation=test.my.com
ServerPort=5529

3) Configure UnityEIFReceiver's port to accept data from LFA, for example:
In <LA_HOME>/LogAnalysis/UnityEIFReceiver/config/eif.conf

c1_ServerLocation=tsls1.fyre.ibm.com
c1_Port=5529> <LFA>.conf

4) Configure UnityEIFReiver to send data to LA:
In <LA_HOME>/LogAnalysis/UnityEIFReceiver/config/unity.conf

unity.data.collector.ip=<LA server name>
unity.data.collector.port=9987
