Version 8.0.20 has a new parameter, that of DBVSERVER_PUBLIC_HOST Rather than accepting the default hostname prompt here, the public-facing IPv4 address of the AWS EC2 instance should be used. The above parameter can be used if you want the dbvagent to communicate to the dbvserver host using a specific IPaddress or hostname , if the default hostname/IpAddress does not communicate. This is not a required parameter but a recommended one in some cases. |

|---|
It makes sense to have this address a fixed IP address that is persistent after the instance is shut down and restarted. In AWS this is known as an Elastic IP. However, this resource is an additional cost to the AWS EC2 instances. If the machines are to only be shut down during a controlled event then the IP address change on instance restarted can be edited in the /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver/dbvserver.conf before the process is restarted. This risk of remembering this configuration change needs to be weighed against the cost of a persistent IP versus how often the server will be shut down. |
