Setting up Multiple Instances of Lighthouse

This chapter discusses the licensing, setup, configuration, promoting and disconnecting of secondary instances, and upgrading of a multiple instance Lighthouse.

The multiple instance functionality allows you to set up secondary or dependent instances of Lighthouse that automatically receive updates from a primary Lighthouse instance and maintains connections to all its remote nodes.

Secondary instances are read-only. They may be used to view Lighthouse information specific to that instance using ogconfig-cli, and to connect via pmshell.

Configuration changes must be performed on the primary instance, which will then update the information displayed on the secondary instance. For more details, see Lighthouse Architecture in Lighthouse Overview
