Automatically Redistribute System Load

Exabeam can automatically identify overloaded worker nodes, and then take corrective action by evenly redistributing the load across the cluster.

This redistribution is done by measuring and comparing job completion time. If one node finishes slower by 50% or more compared to the rest of the nodes, then a redistribution of load is needed. The load is then scheduled to be rebalanced by event categories.

You can enable automatic system load redistribution on the System Optimization tab of the System Health page. This option is enabled by default. Doing so allows the system to check the load distribution once a day.

Note

It is not recommended that you disable the system rebalancing option as it will result in uneven load distribution and adverse performance impacts to the system. However, if you choose to do so, you can configure manual redistribution to avoid such impacts.

You must restart the Exabeam Analytics Engine for any changes to System Rebalancing to take effect.

The System Load Redistribution tab shows an indicator when a redistribution of load is needed, is taking place, or has completed. The rebalancing process can take up to two hours. During this time you may experience slower processing and some data may not be available. However, the system resumes normal operations once redistribution is complete.
