How to enable Recovery

senhasegura provides a feature called Recovery, which allows manual or automated activation of instances through HTTPS requests. This is useful for monitoring and remotely controlling instances, enabling or disabling them as needed, and preventing an under maintenance or unavailable instance from receiving traffic.

How to enable Recovery

1. In the upper left corner of the senhasegura platform, click on Grid Menu, identified by the icon of nine squares, and then select Orbit Config Manager.
2. On the side menu, select Settings and then Recovery.
3. Enable the Allow system remote activation parameter.
4. In the Allowed origin IPs perform system remote activation field, add the authorized IPs.

5. Click Save.
6. Apply these steps to all members of the cluster.

Instance monitoring

The IPs registered in the Recovery configuration can access the monitoring URL https://mysenhasegura/flow/orbit/mntr, obtaining information about the current state of the instance, indicated by HTTP status codes:

Automatic activation and deactivation

It’s possible to allow an external system to control the automatic activation and deactivation of instances. For example, activating an instance as the primary for a contingency data center. You can accomplish this by utilizing the URLs listed below:

Activate

GET /flow/orbit/mntr/activate

When activating an instance, it becomes available to users, but this only happens if the activation license is valid. After a successful activation, the instance that was previously the primary in the cluster is no longer the primary, and the newly activated instance becomes the primary. It's important to note that other instances aren’t automatically deactivated during this process.

Example: https://mysenhasegura/flow/orbit/mntr/activate

Deactivate

GET /flow/orbit/mntr/deactivate

Deactivating an instance will make it unavailable. If this instance is the primary, it will be deactivated without another cluster member being elected as the new primary. It's important to emphasize that this action won’t activate other instances, even if they are inactive.

Example: https://mysenhasegura/flow/orbit/mntr/deactivate
