# Configure Grafana Live HA setup
-Live features in Grafana v8.0 are designed to work with a single Grafana server instance only. We will add the option for HA configuration in future Grafana releases to eliminate the current limitations.
+By default, Grafana Live uses in-memory data structures and in-memory PUB/SUB hub for handling subscriptions.
-Currently, if you have several Grafana server instances behind a load balancer, you may come across the following limitations:
+In a high availability Grafana setup involving several Grafana server instances behind a load balancer, you can find the following limitations:
- Built-in features like dashboard change notifications will only be broadcasted to users connected to the same Grafana server process instance.
- Streaming from Telegraf will deliver data only to clients connected to the same instance which received Telegraf data, active stream cache is not shared between different Grafana instances.
- A separate unidirectional stream between Grafana and backend data source may be opened on different Grafana servers for the same channel.
+
+To bypass these limitations, Grafana v8.1 has an experimental Live HA engine that requires Redis to work.
+
+## Configure Redis Live engine
+
+When the Redis engine is configured, Grafana Live keeps its state in Redis and uses Redis PUB/SUB functionality to deliver messages to all subscribers throughout all Grafana server nodes.
+
+Here is an example configuration:
+
+```
+[live]
+ha_engine = redis
+ha_engine_address = 127.0.0.1:6379
+```
+
+After running:
+
+- All built-in real-time notifications like dashboard changes are delivered to all Grafana server instances and broadcasted to all subscribers.
+- Streaming from Telegraf delivers messages to all subscribers.
+- A separate unidirectional stream between Grafana and backend data source opens on different Grafana servers. Publishing data to a channel delivers messages to instance subscribers, as a result, publications from different instances on different machines do not produce duplicate data on panels.
+
+At the moment we only support single Redis node.
+
+> **Note:** It's possible to use Redis Sentinel and Haproxy to achieve a highly available Redis setup. Redis nodes should be managed by [Redis Sentinel](https://redis.io/topics/sentinel) to achieve automatic failover. Haproxy configuration example:
+> ```
+> listen redis
+> server redis-01 127.0.0.1:6380 check port 6380 check inter 2s weight 1 inter 2s downinter 5s rise 10 fall 2 on-marked-down shutdown-sessions on-marked-up shutdown-backup-sessions
+> server redis-02 127.0.0.1:6381 check port 6381 check inter 2s weight 1 inter 2s downinter 5s rise 10 fall 2 backup
+> bind *:6379
+> mode tcp

+> tcp-check send info\ replication\r\n
+> tcp-check expect string role:master
+> tcp-check send QUIT\r\n
+> tcp-check expect string +OK
+> balance roundrobin

+> Next, point Grafana Live to Haproxy address:port.
