Server Status - Field Help

Configuration Settings

Edit any of the values on the Server Status panel and click Update Configuration.

Current status
The current status of the server. Possible values are:
  • Down
  • Up

Server weight
The weight for this server that is used in load balancing between servers on the same port. The default value is 10. The server weights cannot be updated while the manager is running, unless the server has a fixed weight. If the fixed weight field says "no", then the server weight will be set by the manager.

Fixed weight
Indicates whether the server weight should stay fixed when the manager is running. The default is NO. When fixed weight is specified as NO, the manager will adjust the weight for this server for optimal performance. If fixed weight has been specified as YES, the server weight is 'fixed' and will not be updated by the manager.

Note: The following configurations settings do not apply to the Mailbox Locator component:

Sticky for rule
Default is YES, which specifies that the server is to stay sticky when the port is designated as sticky. Setting this option to NO (non-stick) overrides the sticky affinity of the port when a request is routed to a server which is experiencing an overflow.

HTTP Advisor Request
This field holds the string that is used by the HTTP advisor to query the health of the servers. This value defaults to "HEAD / HTTP/1.0". It is present for all servers, but it will only be valid for servers which are advised upon by the HTTP advisor.
Note: This field is disabled until an HTTP advisor is started.

HTTP Advisor Response
This field holds the string that is used by the HTTP advisor to compare to the real response that is received from the server. This string value defaults to "HEAD / HTTP/1.0".
Note: This field is only available after you have started an HTTP advisor.

Cookie Value
An arbitrary value, set by the administrator, that represents the server side of the cookie name/cookie value pair. The cookie value, along with the cookie name, acts as an identifier to Network Dispatcher allowing Network Dispatcher to send subsequent requests of a website to the same server machine.


Current Statistics

Server
The server is the unique IP address of the TCP server machine as either a symbolic name or in dotted-decimal format. Or, if you use a unique name that does not resolve to an IP address you must provide the server address.

Server address
The unique IP address of the TCP server machine as either a host name or in dotted-decimal format. If the server is unresolvable you must provide the address of the physical server machine.

Port number
The number of the port to which this server is defined.

Cluster address
The IP address of the cluster associated with this server.

Quiesced status
Specifies whether or not any more connections are being sent to a server. If the server has been quiesced then no connections are being sent.

Map port (does not apply to Mailbox Locator)
The port which you are using for load balancing. Allows a client's request to be received on one port and to be transmitted on a different port on the server machine. You may load balance client requests to multiple server daemons running on the same physical machine.

Total Connections
The total number of connections on this server.

The following statistics only apply to Mailbox Locator: (not Content Based Routing)

Active Connections
The number of connections that are in the active state.

Completed Connections
The number of connections that are completed. A connection is in complete state after the FIN packet is received and garbage collection has been performed in order to free the memory used to hold this connection information.


Lists

List of server metrics
A list of system metrics which have been added to the server and the results of executing those metrics on the server.
