# Interface IClusterNode

Interface representing a single cluster node. Use GetAttribute<T>(String) or GetMetrics() to get static and dynamic information about remote nodes. You can get a list of all nodes in grid by calling GetNodes() on IIgnite instance.

You can use Ignite node attributes to provide static information about a node. This information is initialized once within grid, during node startup, and remains the same throughout the lifetime of a node.

All members are thread-safe and may be used concurrently from multiple threads.

##### Inherited Members

IBaselineNode.ConsistentId
IBaselineNode.Attributes

###### Namespace: Apache.Ignite.Core.Cluster

###### Assembly: Apache.Ignite.Core.dll

##### Syntax

    public interface IClusterNode : IBaselineNode

### Properties

#### Addresses

Collection of addresses this node is known by.

##### Declaration

    ICollection<string> Addresses { get; }

##### Property Value

Type | Description
--- | ---
ICollection<System.String> | Collection of addresses.

#### HostNames

Collection of host names this node is known by.

##### Declaration

    ICollection<string> HostNames { get; }

##### Property Value

Type | Description
--- | ---
ICollection<System.String> | Collection of host names.

#### Id

Globally unique node ID. A new ID is generated every time a node restarts.

##### Declaration

    Guid Id { get; }

##### Property Value

Type | Description
--- | ---
Guid |

#### IsClient

Gets a value indicating whether or not this node is connected to cluster as a client.

Do not confuse client in terms of discovery and client in terms of cache. Cache clients cannot carry data, while topology clients connect to the topology in a different way.

##### Declaration

    bool IsClient { get; }

##### Property Value

Type | Description
--- | ---
System.Boolean | `true` if this node is a client node, `false otherwise.`.

#### IsLocal

Tests whether or not this node is a local node.

##### Declaration

    bool IsLocal { get; }

##### Property Value

Type | Description
--- | ---
System.Boolean |

#### Order

Node order within grid topology. Discovery SPIs that support node ordering will assign a proper order to each node and will guarantee that discovery event notifications for new nodes will come in proper order. All other SPIs not supporting ordering may choose to return node startup time here.

##### Declaration

    long Order { get; }

##### Property Value

Type | Description
--- | ---
System.Int64 |

#### Version

Gets an Ignite node version.

##### Declaration

    IgniteProductVersion Version { get; }

##### Property Value

Type | Description
--- | ---
IgniteProductVersion |

### Methods

#### GetAttribute<T>(String)

Gets node's attribute. Attributes are assigned to nodes at startup.

Note that attributes cannot be changed at runtime.

##### Declaration

    T GetAttribute<T>(string name)

##### Parameters

Type | Name | Description
--- | --- | ---
System.String | name | Attribute name.

##### Returns

Type | Description
--- | ---
T | Attribute value.

##### Type Parameters

Name | Description
--- | ---
T |

#### GetAttributes()

Gets all node attributes. Attributes are assigned to nodes at startup.

Note that attributes cannot be changed at runtime.

##### Declaration

    IDictionary<string, object> GetAttributes()

##### Returns

Type | Description
--- | ---
IDictionary<System.String, System.Object> | All node attributes.

#### GetMetrics()

Gets metrics snapshot for this node. Note that node metrics are constantly updated and provide up to date information about nodes. For example, you can get an idea about CPU load on remote node via CurrentCpuLoad.

Node metrics are updated with some delay which is directly related to heartbeat frequency. For example, when used with default `GridTcpDiscoverySpi` the update will happen every `2` seconds.

##### Declaration

    IClusterMetrics GetMetrics()

##### Returns

Type | Description
--- | ---
IClusterMetrics | Runtime metrics snapshot for this node.

#### TryGetAttribute<T>(String, out T)

Try getting node's attribute. Attributes are assigned to nodes at startup.

Note that attributes cannot be changed at runtime.

##### Declaration

    bool TryGetAttribute<T>(string name, out T attr)

##### Parameters

Type | Name | Description
--- | --- | ---
System.String | name | Attribute name.
T | attr | Attribute value.

##### Returns

Type | Description
--- | ---
System.Boolean | `true` in case such attribute exists.

##### Type Parameters

Name | Description
--- | ---
T |
