Adding a Cluster Service

In any Cluster Details screen (see Viewing Cluster Details, Viewing Training Cluster Details, Viewing Notebook Cluster Details, and Viewing Deployment Cluster Details), clicking the Actions button and then selecting Add cluster service opens the Add Cluster Service popup, which allows you to expose a service endpoint in the web interface. This function only exposes the endpoint of that service in the web interface; you must bring up the service on the virtual node(s) in the cluster either manually or via ActionScripts.



To add a service to a virtual cluster:

  1. Install the service on the virtual cluster either manually or by using an ActionScript.
  2. Use the Node(s) pull-down menu to select the virtual node(s) that are running this service. You may select or deselect a node by clicking it, and/or use the Select All/Deselect All buttons to make the correct selection.
  3. Enter a unique service identifier string in the Service ID field.
  4. Optionally, you may enter a well-known name for the service (such as Hadoop or SSH) in the Exported Service field.
  5. Enter a name for the service in the Service Name field. This is the name that the web interface will expose to users who access the Cluster Details screen for this cluster.
  6. Enter a brief description of the service in the Service Description field.
  7. Enter the port number used to access this service in the Port field.
  8. If the cluster includes multiple nodegroups (such as a Spark cluster that also has a Gateway node), then you will be able to specify the nodegroup on which the service is running.
  9. Enter one or more of the following option(s), as applicable:
    • If the service supports load balancing, then check the Load Balancing check box. See Load Balancing.
    • If you need to generate an authentication token for the service, then check the Enable Auth Token check box.
    • If the service includes a web-based dashboard, then check the Dashboard box, and then provide the complete URL to the service dashboard and the protocol (http or https) in the Path field and Protocol pull-down menu, respectively.

When you have finished entering this information, click Submit to finish adding the service to the web interface for this virtual cluster and return to the appropriate Cluster Details screen (see Viewing Cluster Details, Viewing Training Cluster Details, Viewing Notebook Cluster Details, and Viewing Deployment Cluster Details).
