Server Status - Field Help
Configuration Settings
Edit any of the values on the Server Status panel by clicking Update Configuration.
- Collocated
- Specifies whether or not this server is on the same machine as the Dispatcher machine.
The collocated field does not apply to the Windows platform.
Possible values are:
Note: For Windows platform, Dispatcher can be collocated (without using this field)
when the port is configured with nat or cbr forwarding methods (but not with the mac forwarding
method). -
- Current status
- The current status of the server. Possible values are:
- Server weight
- The weight for this server that is used in load balancing between servers on
the same port. The default value is 10.
Note: You will be unable to update the server weight while the
manager is running and the server "fixed weight" value is "no" (the default).
If you want to set the server weight and do not want the manager to update the
server weight you set, then set the "fixed weight" value to "yes"
- 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.
- 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.
- Network router address
- The IP address of the router that will be used to resolve the address of the remote
server if this server is used as part of a wide area network. If there is a router address
defined, the Dispatcher will encapsulate packets before forwarding them. This field does not
apply if the server is local (on the same subnet as the Dispatcher machine).
- HTTP Advisor Request
- This field holds the string which will be 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 which will be used by the HTTP advisor to compare to the real
response that is received from the server. This string value defaults to "null".
Note: This field is only available after you have started an HTTP advisor.
- Cookie Value (only applicable to content-based routing forwarding method protocol)
- 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 this server has been quiesced. If the server has been quiesced,
then no new connections from a different client can be sent.
- Map port
- The port to 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. This is only applicable when using the NAT/NAPT or
content-based routing forwarding method protocols.
- Return Address
- A unique IP address or hostname, used only when the server's forwarding method
is NAT/NAPT or content-based routing. It must be different than the
cluster address, server address and NFA. You must specify the return
address value when the server is added and it can not be changed after the server exists.
The return address is used by the Dispatcher machine in order to process the content of the request,
rather than sending the packet directly to the client.
Note: Return address applies only to Dispatcher with NAT/NAPT or content-based routing
forwarding method protocols.
- Kbytes transferred per second
- The number of kilobytes transferred in a one second interval
- Total connections
- The total number of connections on this server.
- Active connections
- The number of connections that are in the active state.
- FINed connections
- The number of connections that are in the FIN state. A client sends a FIN packet
to let the server know that the transaction is finished.
- 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.
