Configure NGINX Load Balancer

You can configure NGINX load balancer to increase the number of agents in a cluster setup for secure and non-secure communication.

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the folder (for example, nginx_install_dir/conf/NGINX.conf) that contains the NGINX.conf file.
  2. Add the worker_rlimit_nofile property and set the value to 8192 in the NGINX.conf file.
  3. Edit the value of the worker_connections property to 4096 in the NGINX.conf file.
  4. Edit the worker_processes property value in the NGINX.conf file that is based on the number of agents you want to install.

    For example, to install 1000 agents in a two-node cluster setup, edit the worker_processes property value to 4 in the NGINX.conf file. Similarly, to install 2000 agents in a two-node cluster setup, edit the worker_processes property value to 8 in the NGINX.conf file.

  5. Restart the NGINX load balancer.
