When the App Visibility Portal and/or App Visibility Collector is installed in HA mode, how does one determine which one is the Active node and which one is the Standby node in a HA environment?

Below are two options to determine if the App Visibility Portal and/or App Visibility Collector is the Active or Standby node:

Option 2
On the server with the App Visibility Portal or App Visibility Collector, go to the logs directory.  Open the log file called portal.log for the App Visibility Portal or collector.log for the App Visibility Collector, and search for the following words:
