The manual spawning of node processes allows you to start Cortex and Host processes with the initial command and then start the node processes using a second command. The advantage of using manual spawning is to allow certain advanced workflows where it is desired that the node processes do not start right away, which is done by default.
To use the manual spawning of node processes in Fluent, do the following:
Start Fluent with all the options you want and add the option
-manspa. The Fluent window will appear with a message providing the command to start the node processes:To spawn process, enter: fluent <options> -node -mport host:host:p1:p2 &where,
hostis the name of the host (local) machine on which Cortex is running andp1:p2are the two integers indicating the connecting port numbers that are used to communicate information between Cortex on the host machine and Fluent on the remote machine.Start node processes from the local or a remote machine using the command displayed in the Fluent console.
