How does it work?

Horizontal scaling is supported using "Sticky Cookies"

On the first request to the collector a loadbalancer will generated a mapping cookie to note where to route subsequent requests. When additional requests are made the cookie will be read and the request routed to the same collector instance as the first request

Note:- The collector expects the stick cookies to be generated by the loadbalancer.

Example AWS Configuration

1. Ensure sticky cookies are enabled

2. Configure loadbalancer generated cookies

3. Ensure health checks are sent to /meda
