Server Status - Field Help

Configuration Settings

Edit any of the following configuration settings on the Server Configuration Settings tab, and then click Update Configuration.

Current status
The current status of the server. Possible values are:
  • up
  • down
After adding a server, the default is up. It can change to down at a later time.

Server weight
The weight for this server that is used in load balancing between servers on the same port. The weight range is 1-to-10.

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 adjusts the weight for this server for optimal performance. If fixed weight is specified as yes, the server weight is fixed and is not updated by the manager.

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.
