Extending the Plugin in Java

To add your own custom functionality to the plugin:

Create a new Java library that links to the JAR files in the lib/ folder in the Advanced Clustering plugin zip file.
In your Java library, create a class that implements the com.mirth.connect.plugins.clustering.server.core.ClusterEventHandler interface, and add your custom functionality to this class.

Note: You may want to retain a reference to the com .mirth.connect.plugins.clustering.server.core. Cluster instance that is passed to the onInit method because you can use this object to monitor and manipulate the cluster.
Build the project as a JAR file, and add it to the custom-lib folder in your Mirth® Connect installation.
Verify that the server.includecustomlib = true line exists in your conf/mirth.properties file.
Run this query on your Mirth® Connect database: UPDATE CONFIGURATION SET VALUE = '$your fully qualified Java class name here$' WHERE NAME = 'cluster-event-handlers' AND category = 'Advanced Clustering'
Restart Mirth® Connect.
