Edit Group Management Service
Use the Group Management Service page to change GMS settings.
The Group Management Service (GMS) is an in-process service that provides cluster monitoring,
cluster membership, and group communication services. The GMS is built atop a configurable
stack of group membership discovery and health monitoring protocols. The GMS performs the
following functions:
Notifies registered modules in a GlassFish Server instance when one or more member instances are added to or removed from a cluster, or are suspected or confirmed to have failed.
Provides the ability to send and receive messages between a group of processes.
The Group Management Service page contains the following options.
- Load Defaults
Button to restore settings that have default values to their default values. Settings that do not have default values are not changed.
- Configuration Name
The name of the configuration to which the settings on this page apply. This field is read only.
- Maximum Missed Heartbeats
The number of monitoring attempts after which a server instance failure is suspected. The default is 3.
- Heartbeat Frequency

- Group Discovery Timeout
The amount of time that the GMS waits for discovery of other cluster members. The default is 5000 milliseconds.
- Failure Verification Wait Time
