Configure redirects settings

  3. In the dialog, choose the settings that best suit your needs.

    1. Choose the number of Replicas you would like. There is a minimum of 2 redirect server replicas.

      You may choose as many replicas as needed. However, if no more memory is available, the system rejects new replicas.

    2. Under Redirects server, choose Backend or Frontend .

      If choosing Frontend, you’ll need to pass the port number you want to use, such as 8080.

    3. Under Load balancing, choose Round Robin or Cookie based load balancing.

      redirects settings
      If choosing Cookie based, you’ll need to give the cookie a name. If you have sticky sessions enabled, this name must be the same as the value in the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-name ingress annotation in your values.yml file.

  4. Don’t forget to save your updates.

For more on this topic, check out our dedicated redirects section.

Create redirects from the Cockpit

  2. Select the desired Environment from the dropdown list.

  3. Add a single redirect or import a redirect CSV file.

    • Add redirect

    • Add redirects (CSV)

    1. Click Add redirect.

    2. In the dialog, fill out the following.

      1. The Source URL. This is the place to redirect from.

      2. The Target URL. This is the place to redirect to.

      3. The Code. This is the http status code passed with the redirect. Only 3xx http codes are acceptable.

      4. Check Url with regular expression if the URL provided uses RegEx.

        (.*) Why use RegEx?

        Using regex for URL redirects offers several advantages:

        • It provides flexibility for matching patterns across multiple URLs.

        • It reduces the complexity of managing numerous redirects and allows dynamic handling of URL components.

        Using regex for URL patterns better preserve SEO rankings and minimize broken links by accurately mapping old URLs to new ones which enhances user experience and maintains optimal site integrity.
