Additional Polling Engine (APE) support High Availability (HA)

Hello experts,

I have one query about HA on APE. We are deploying APE at different sites across the world. I am not able to find the documentation for setting up APE in HA. I opened a ticket with SolarWinds Support, but they were not helpful. Does anyone have APE setup in HA? In the SolarWinds HCO 2023.1.0 version, I saw an option for setting up APE in HA (Attachment), but when I selected that option to setup APE in HA, it didn't give an option to specify a virtual IP (VIP) for HA configuration.

When setting up HA for an APE you need to install the software by selecting "High Availability - Backup server for additional polling engines (HA)". Once the installer is finished and the configuration wizard is completed on your backup server, you can go to your Web UI to establish the HA pools configuration at https://solarwinds_platform/ui/ha/deployment/summary, which is where you create your vIP if reqruired.
