Application server selection and Load-balancer

Hello Arun,

 

Can you give more details what are the application servers and what do you want to achieve?

 

Here is some general information:

 

• Monitors

• Load balancing methods

Application servers support some application. You can assume we have series of Nodes having this applications running.

 

Node1 ....... Noden --- all under a common domain say myappsvr.com

 

These nodes need to be selected thru load-balancer. This is all fine until here.

 

These Node1..... Noden based on its capacity/resource can handle some amount of events.

 

What needs to be supported on the Node1,.... Noden to monitor from load-balancer side. Do we have any library from F5 which can be integrated into the application server side.

 

Hoping to clarify, the F5 doesn't have an agents it deploys for monitoring servers. With that said, you can create ANY monitoring you want with the tools F5 provides. As other suggest, I would review the options F5 offers, and apply what you think will work best, or come back with more specific questions, to go a little deeper.

 

Good Luck!

I am also looking for same kind of solution for the Application server. Any plugin/app there to check from F5 to node's/server's current capacity(CPU & Memory Usage). Based on availability F5 should pass the connections to those minimum utilized nodes/servers.

 

Any plug-in there ? Just will add into each Node/JVM to communicate with F5.
