Enable or disable failover and set failover options.
A project fails when it does not run properly or stops running properly. If failover is enabled, a failover occurs when a failed project switches to another server to continue processing. Failover typically results in a project restart, though a strong positive affinity to a node that is not available can prevent a project from restarting. Restarts can be limited based on failure intervals and restarts per interval. Failover options, accessed using an instance configuration, include:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Failover | Either enabled or disabled. When disabled, project failover restarts are not permitted. When enabled, failure interval and failures per interval fields can be accessed and restarts are permitted. |
| Failures per interval | Specifies the number of restarts the project can attempt within a given interval. This count resets to zero if you restart the project manually or if failures are dropped from the list because they are older than the size of the interval. |
| Failure interval | (Optional) This specifies the time, in seconds, that makes up an interval. If left blank, the interval time is infinite. |
