Description
This article describes how to verify the role of the blades in FortiAnalyzer BigData via both GUI and CLI.
Generally, the blades are divided into the following roles. The blades are running with a consul agent which runs in one of two modes: Server or Client.
Consul is a tool to discover, maintain, and configure various services in the distributed systems infrastructure. Examples of the core functions of the consul are service discovery, health check, etc.
| Role Type | Consul Mode or Type | Total blade # |
| Master Node | Server | 3 |
| Data Node | Client | 2 |
| MetaStore Node | Client | 8 |
Scope
FortiAnalyzer BigData 4500F
Solution
Method 1: GUI.
Login into the controller IP address via Cluster Manager -> Hosts -> Look at the column: Role Type.
Method 2: CLI.
Login into the controller IP address via SSH, then run CLI: consul members The command will list the current members' DC name, node name, status, type and etc. The state of a node can only be 'alive', 'left', or 'failed'. The type of a node can be 'server' and 'client'.
