Hey Family,
Hopefully everyone will be in good health, how could we manage the load balancing technique between 3 different collectors?
if anyone share the architectural representation or document?
you could email me as well at: muhammad.faidhan@arwentech.com

Hi Muhammed,  on ibm learning we have this course https://www.ibm.com/training/course/installation-and-provisioning-gdp-deploy-l4-SR007885 and thid one https://www.ibm.com/training/course/guardium-techbook-SLA6411 with topics on ELB.  If this is insufficient, please reach out to your local technical pre-sales.

Regards and succes,

Hi Muhammad,

Suggestions-
if you have many collectors and many staps in your environment, then go with the ELB method.
if the environment size is manageable individually- then go with the load balancing method via S-TAP:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/gdp/12.x?topic=parameters-linux-unix-general
search for the parameter: participate_in_load_balancing:
Controls S-TAP load balancing (not enterprise load balancing) to Guardium systems. Valid values:

• 0: No load balancing.
• 1: Load balancing. Traffic is balanced between the primary and secondary servers, which are defined in the SQLGuard section.
• 2: Redundancy. Fully mirrored S-TAP sends all traffic to all primary and secondary servers, which are defined in the SQLGuard section.
• 3: Hardware load balancing. Guardium uses a load balancer such as F5 or Cisco. S-TAP sends the traffic to the load balancer, which forwards it to one of the collectors in the pool.
• 4:S-TAP is configured for multi-threading. Set NUM_MAIN_THREAD from 0 to 10.
