Regarding Dispatcher flush agent

[Former Community Member]

Hi All,

Need small information about dispatcher flush agent,

What is the best way to create a dispatcher flush agent at author or publish?Why?

Do you need to check the check box for "On Modification" ( agents for triggers tab) while creating dispatcher flush agent?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Hi Venkatesham,

It is recommended to configure dispatcher flush agent on publish instance.

Yes, You need to check the check box for "On Modification" (agents for triggers tab) while creating dispatcher flush agent.

See this docs for more information: http://www.cqtutorial.com/courses/cq-admin/cq-admin-lessons/cq-dispatcher/cq-dispatcher-flush-agent-...

What is the hardware load balancing tool?

Hi Venkatesham,

This will result in single point failure. If your apache server goes down(though chances are less), the entire site goes down and hence not recommended. you need atleast one more apache server  when you have more than one publish server. The typical recommendation is 1:1

So recommended 1 Publish - 1 Dispacther!!
