Log into certain nodes of an instance?

[Kalaiarasan Pus]

Do we have any facility to log into specific node of an instance?

I was able to find the nodes of an instance by checking sys_cluster_state table but unable to find any way to login into certain nodes. Is this even possible without using any chrome plugin or contacting support?

Hi Kalai,

There is a google chrome extension developed by our peers called as "ServiceNow Node Switcher" which can provide you information about which current node you are in and also give you an option to switch back to the other node for better performance.

Give a try and let me know if it fulfill your requirement.

Unfortunately we are not allowed to use plugins.

I am not sure if that is possible. But if I have to troubleshoot this kind of issue, I would look at System Diagnostic page and find out which node is showing red and has too many jobs in queue.

Then I would go to System Diagnostics-> Active Transaction (All Nodes) to find out, which job is running on that node which is causing this issue and then fix that job.

I ended up creating something months after posting this.
