Hello I am currently setting up log server in a 4 node cluster, and I am putting it in front of a load balancer, I can see in the Admin tab and the Global Settings, it mentions the Cluster Hostname as per the attached screenshot, but I can't find any information regarding this setting and its use with load balancers. Is there any documentation regarding this setting or any one have any expertise working with load balancers and Log Server, your help would be greatly appreciated

I am really new to clustering and log server so if my request is dumb please ignore me

Thanks for any response

The cluster hostname is whatever name the external side (e.g. public VIP) of your load balancer presents to the world for the cluster. So like if you have logserver1 and logserver2, you might have "logserver" as the public name.
