Deploy a client filter list from the UI

You can define filter lists to allow or disallow client connections to clusters, using the Management Center UI.

Before you begin​

Configure your Hazelcast clients with one or more failover clusters to make sure that disconnected clients can connect to another cluster. For a tutorial, see Deploy blue-green clusters.

You can deploy either an allow list or a deny list to a cluster, not both. If you deploy an allow list, the cluster disallows connections from any clients that aren't in the allow list. If you deploy a deny list, the cluster allows connections from any client that isn't in the deny list.

Create a filter list​

  1. Enable client filtering on the connected cluster.

    Toggle button to enable client filtering

  2. Click New List.

  3. Give the list a name, a status, and a type.

  4. In the entries section of the form, add one or more entries for the list, and click Add Entry +.

  5. Click Save.

    Example Step 4

    The orange status indicator means that the list has not yet been deployed to the cluster.

Deploy a filter list to a connected cluster​

  1. If you created an allow list, select the Allow-list tab to enter the allow mode. Or, if you created a deny-list, select the Deny-list tab to enter the deny mode.

  2. Click Deploy Configuration to deploy the filter lists in your selected mode.

    Example Step 5

  3. Click Report to see the list of deployed rules on your cluster.

    Example Step 6

Edit an existing filter list​

  1. Click the Edit button on a list row.
  2. Make your changes.
  3. Click Save and Deploy to deploy the new list to the cluster.

Edit Client Filtering List

Delete an entry​

To keep a filter list saved in Management Center, but remove it from the cluster:

  1. Click the Edit button on a list row.
  2. Change the List Type field to Inactive.
  3. Click Save.
