Add, Start, and Use Workers

You can view and manage workers from the Monitoring section of the Deploy GUI. To see all the workers registered with the master, go to the Explorer, expand Monitoring in the left pane, and double click Workers. You can see the list of workers, their connection states (as seen from the master you are connected to), and the number of deployment and control tasks that are assigned to each worker. To view the workers in the Deploy GUI, you must have global admin permissions.

Configure Task Queuing

As of 9.5, Deploy uses task queuing for workers using the Java Message Service (JMS) 2.0 protocol. Deploy will queue any tasks, regardless of whether a worker is available to execute them. When a worker does become available, it will automatically pick tasks from the queue and execute them.

High Availability With Master-Worker Setup

In Deploy, deployment tasks and control tasks are executed by the task execution engine. See Deploy Tasks. Based on your deployment task, the Deploy planner generates a deployment plan or control task plan with steps that Deploy will carry out to deploy an application. You can manually modify the plan. When the plan is ready, Deploy generates a DeploymentTask or ControlTask that is sent to the task execution engine.

Install a Worker as a Service

You can configure a Deploy worker to run as a daemon (Unix) or service (Windows) so that it can run as a background process without requiring user control or intervention.

Using the Monitoring View

The Deploy monitoring view provides an overview of the tasks that are not archived as well as satellites and workers in the system.
