Service Discovery Configuration
Service discovery enables the Connection Server to find the ThingWorx Platform hosts and ports in a ThingWorx High Availability Clustering environment. Further, it enables the Connection Server to react to start and stop events for the platform instances.
The cx-server.discovery group in the configuration file of a Connection Server provides the following properties:
