Cluster Layout Examples

TeskaLabs LogMan.io is built to run as a cluster: components are distributed across multiple servers. How many machines you use, how large they are, and which role each node plays are always tailored to your requirements.

The pages in this section illustrate common cluster layouts. Use them as a reference when you design, deploy, or extend an environment. They are not an exhaustive catalog. Other valid topologies are possible.

You can also start small and add nodes as demand grows.

Odd number of nodes in the cluster

Several parts of LogMan.io rely on leader election. With an odd number of nodes (for example three or five), those elections can resolve to a single leader without ambiguity. Even-sized clusters are supported, but might lead to split-brain problem; in practice, an odd node count improves stability when a member is offline or partitioned.
