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>
