MaxScale 24.08 Beta Configuring Servers

Configuring Servers

The first step is to define the servers that make up the cluster. These servers will be used by the services and are monitored by the monitor.

[dbserv1]
type=server
address=192.168.2.1
port=3306
protocol=MariaDBBackend

[dbserv2]
type=server
address=192.168.2.2
port=3306
protocol=MariaDBBackend

[dbserv3]
type=server
address=192.168.2.3
port=3306
protocol=MariaDBBackend

The address and port parameters tell where the server is located. The protocol should always be set to MariaDBBackend.

Enabling TLS

To enable encryption for the MaxScale-to-MariaDB communication, add ssl=true to the server section. To enable server certificate verification, add ssl_verify_peer_certificate=true.

The ssl and ssl_verify_peer_certificate parameters are similar to the --ssl and --ssl-verify-server-cert options of the mysql command line client.

For more information about TLS, refer to the Configuration Guide.
