What is the difference between masterslave discovery and static discovery in ActiveMQ?

A common configuration option for a network of brokers is to establish a network bridge between a broker and an n+1 broker pair (master/slave). Typical configurations involve using the failover: transport, but there are a some other non-intuitive options that must be configured for it to work as desired. For this reason, ActiveMQ v5.6+ has a convenience discovery agent that can be specified with the masterslave: transport prefix:

Solution

  • static: discovery creates a network bridge for every uri in the list.

    masterslave: creates one bridge and fails over to the other uri(s) in the list during an outage.
