## cluster.schedulingPolicy
The scheduling policy, either `cluster.SCHED_RR` for round-robin or
`cluster.SCHED_NONE` to leave it to the operating system. This is a
global setting and effectively frozen once you spawn the first worker
or call `cluster.setupMaster()`, whatever comes first.
`SCHED_RR` is the default on all operating systems except Windows.
Windows will change to `SCHED_RR` once libuv is able to effectively
distribute IOCP handles without incurring a large performance hit.
`cluster.schedulingPolicy` can also be set through the
`NODE_CLUSTER_SCHED_POLICY` environment variable. Valid
values are `"rr"` and `"none"`.
## cluster.settings
* {Object}
* `execArgv` {Array} list of string arguments passed to the Node.js
executable. (Default=`process.execArgv`)
* `exec` {String} file path to worker file. (Default=`process.argv[1]`)
* `args` {Array} string arguments passed to worker.
(Default=`process.argv.slice(2)`)
* `silent` {Boolean} whether or not to send output to parent's stdio.
(Default=`false`)
* `uid` {Number} Sets the user identity of the process. (See setuid(2).)
* `gid` {Number} Sets the group identity of the process. (See setgid(2).)
After calling `.setupMaster()` (or `.fork()`) this settings object will contain
the settings, including the default values.
It is effectively frozen after being set, because `.setupMaster()` can
only be called once.
This object is not supposed to be changed or set manually, by you.
## cluster.isMaster
* {Boolean}
True if the process is a master. This is determined
by the `process.env.NODE_UNIQUE_ID`. If `process.env.NODE_UNIQUE_ID` is
undefined, then `isMaster` is `true`.
## cluster.isWorker
* {Boolean}
True if the process is not a master (it is the negation of `cluster.isMaster`). ## Class: Worker
## Event: 'fork'
* `worker` {Worker object} A Worker object contains all public information and method about a worker.
In the master it can be obtained using `cluster.workers`. In a worker
it can be obtained using `cluster.worker`.
When a new worker is forked the cluster module will emit a 'fork' event. ### Event: 'disconnect'
This can be used to log worker activity, and create your own timeout.
var timeouts = []; Similar to the `cluster.on('disconnect')` event, but specific to this worker.
function errorMsg() {
console.error("Something must be wrong with the connection ...");
}
cluster.on('fork', function(worker) { cluster.fork().on('disconnect', function() {
timeouts[worker.id] = setTimeout(errorMsg, 2000); // Worker has disconnected
});
cluster.on('listening', function(worker, address) {
clearTimeout(timeouts[worker.id]);
});
cluster.on('exit', function(worker, code, signal) {
clearTimeout(timeouts[worker.id]);
errorMsg();
}); });
## Event: 'online' ### Event: 'error'
* `worker` {Worker object}
After forking a new worker, the worker should respond with an online message. This event is the same as the one provided by `child_process.fork()`.
When the master receives an online message it will emit this event.
The difference between 'fork' and 'online' is that fork is emitted when the
master forks a worker, and 'online' is emitted when the worker is running.
cluster.on('online', function(worker) { In a worker you can also use `process.on('error')`.
console.log("Yay, the worker responded after it was forked");
});
## Event: 'listening' [ChildProcess.send()]: child_process.html#child_process_child_send_message_sendhandle_callback

object and the `address` object contains the following connection properties:
`address`, `port` and `addressType`. This is very useful if the worker is listening
on more than one address.
cluster.on('listening', function(worker, address) { var worker = cluster.fork();
console.log("A worker is now connected to " + address.address + ":" + address.port); worker.on('exit', function(code, signal) {
if( signal ) {
console.log("worker was killed by signal: "+signal);
} else if( code !== 0 ) {
console.log("worker exited with error code: "+code);
} else {
console.log("worker success!");
}
}); });
The `addressType` is one of: ### Event: 'listening'
* `4` (TCPv4)
* `6` (TCPv6)
* `-1` (unix domain socket)

worker exits gracefully, is killed, or is disconnected manually (such as with
worker.disconnect()).
There may be a delay between the `disconnect` and `exit` events. These events Similar to the `cluster.on('listening')` event, but specific to this worker.
can be used to detect if the process is stuck in a cleanup or if there are
long-living connections.
cluster.on('disconnect', function(worker) { cluster.fork().on('listening', function(address) {
console.log('The worker #' + worker.id + ' has disconnected'); // Worker is listening
}); });
## Event: 'exit' It is not emitted in the worker.
* `worker` {Worker object}
* `code` {Number} the exit code, if it exited normally.
* `signal` {String} the name of the signal (eg. `'SIGHUP'`) that caused
the process to be killed.
When any of the workers die the cluster module will emit the 'exit' event.
This can be used to restart the worker by calling `.fork()` again.
cluster.on('exit', function(worker, code, signal) { ### Event: 'message'
console.log('worker %d died (%s). restarting...',
worker.process.pid, signal || code);
cluster.fork();
});

## Event: 'message' Similar to the `cluster.on('message')` event, but specific to this worker.
* `worker` {Worker object} This event is the same as the one provided by `child_process.fork()`.
* `message` {Object}
Emitted when any worker receives a message. In a worker you can also use `process.on('message')`.
See As an example, here is a cluster that keeps count of the number of requests
[child_process event: 'message'](child_process.html#child_process_event_message). in the master process using the message system:
## Event: 'setup' var cluster = require('cluster');
var http = require('http');
* `settings` {Object} if (cluster.isMaster) {
Emitted every time `.setupMaster()` is called. // Keep track of http requests
var numReqs = 0;
setInterval(function() {
console.log("numReqs =", numReqs);
}, 1000);
The `settings` object is the `cluster.settings` object at the time // Count requests
`.setupMaster()` was called and is advisory only, since multiple calls to function messageHandler(msg) {
`.setupMaster()` can be made in a single tick. if (msg.cmd && msg.cmd == 'notifyRequest') {
numReqs += 1;
}
}
If accuracy is important, use `cluster.settings`. // Start workers and listen for messages containing notifyRequest
var numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length;
for (var i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) {
cluster.fork();
}
## cluster.setupMaster([settings]) Object.keys(cluster.workers).forEach(function(id) {
cluster.workers[id].on('message', messageHandler);

Example: Similar to the `cluster.on('online')` event, but specific to this worker.

cluster.setupMaster({ // Worker is online
exec: 'worker.js',
args: ['--use', 'https'],

This can only be called from the master process.
## cluster.fork([env]) It is not emitted in the worker.
* `env` {Object} Key/value pairs to add to worker process environment. ### worker.disconnect()
* return {Worker object}
Spawn a new worker process. In a worker, this function will close all servers, wait for the 'close' event on
those servers, and then disconnect the IPC channel.
This can only be called from the master process. In the master, an internal message is sent to the worker causing it to call
`.disconnect()` on itself.
## cluster.disconnect([callback]) Causes `.suicide` to be set.
* `callback` {Function} called when all workers are disconnected and handles are Note that after a server is closed, it will no longer accept new connections,

see [server.close()](net.html#net_event_close), the IPC channel to the worker
will close allowing it to die gracefully.
Calls `.disconnect()` on each worker in `cluster.workers`. The above applies *only* to server connections, client connections are not
automatically closed by workers, and disconnect does not wait for them to close
before exiting.
When they are disconnected all internal handles will be closed, allowing the Note that in a worker, `process.disconnect` exists, but it is not this function,
master process to die gracefully if no other event is waiting. it is [disconnect](child_process.html#child_process_child_disconnect).
The method takes an optional callback argument which will be called when finished. Because long living server connections may block workers from disconnecting, it
may be useful to send a message, so application specific actions may be taken to
close them. It also may be useful to implement a timeout, killing a worker if
the `disconnect` event has not been emitted after some time.
This can only be called from the master process. if (cluster.isMaster) {
var worker = cluster.fork();
var timeout;
## cluster.worker worker.on('listening', function(address) {
worker.send('shutdown');

See [child_process event: 'exit'](child_process.html#child_process_event_exit).
## Event: 'fork'
* `worker` {Worker object}
When a new worker is forked the cluster module will emit a 'fork' event.
This can be used to log worker activity, and create your own timeout.
var timeouts = [];

console.error("Something must be wrong with the connection ...");
}

});
## Event: 'listening'
* `worker` {Worker object}
* `address` {Object}
After calling `listen()` from a worker, when the 'listening' event is emitted on
the server, a listening event will also be emitted on `cluster` in the master.
The event handler is executed with two arguments, the `worker` contains the worker
object and the `address` object contains the following connection properties:
`address`, `port` and `addressType`. This is very useful if the worker is listening
on more than one address.
cluster.on('listening', function(worker, address) {

### Event: 'exit' * {Object}
* `code` {Number} the exit code, if it exited normally. A hash that stores the active worker objects, keyed by `id` field. Makes it

Similar to the `cluster.on('exit')` event, but specific to this worker. A worker is removed from cluster.workers after the worker has disconnected _and_
exited. The order between these two events cannot be determined in advance.
However, it is guaranteed that the removal from the cluster.workers list happens
before last `'disconnect'` or `'exit'` event is emitted.
var worker = cluster.fork(); // Go through all workers
worker.on('exit', function(code, signal) { function eachWorker(callback) {
if( signal ) { for (var id in cluster.workers) {
console.log("worker was killed by signal: "+signal); callback(cluster.workers[id]);
} else if( code !== 0 ) {
console.log("worker exited with error code: "+code);
} else {
console.log("worker success!");
} }
}
eachWorker(function(worker) {
worker.send('big announcement to all workers');
}); });
### Event: 'error' Should you wish to reference a worker over a communication channel, using
the worker's unique id is the easiest way to find the worker.
This event is the same as the one provided by `child_process.fork()`.
In a worker you can also use `process.on('error')`.
