Null Values for PortalInetSocketAddress and PortalProtocol for Cluster Nodes

Issue

• When running a Groovy script to check cluster formation, the output shows "null" for PortalInetSocketAddress and PortalProtocol for some nodes.

Environment

• DXP 7.4
• Quarterly Releases

Resolution

• This behavior is expected when not all cluster nodes have been accessed through a web browser, which prevents the "Updated cluster node {...}" event from being generated.
  • To verify this, enable cluster debug logging (Control Panel > System Settings > Infrastructure > Cluster Executor > Enabled debug), restart all nodes, and check the logs for cluster events.

• To fix the issue:

  1. Access each node in the cluster via a web browser and check logs to verify the "Updated cluster node" event.
  2. If the issue persists try to explicitly set the following properties in portal-ext.properties on each node:

     portal.instance.protocol=<protocol>
     portal.instance.inet.socket.address=<ip>:<port>
