Dynamic throttling based on target system CPU load

Thanks all -- here's another pass at this. Let's suppose I had a page on each server that could indicate if it was "too busy". And I used an external monitor or sideband connection to read that page, and indicate if the node is too busy. Now, after a point (especially when we're talking about unexpected load), all the nodes will indicate they are too busy.

 

 

Once that happens -- all nodes in a cluster reporting too busy:

 

a) would the F5 automatically start throttling? i doubt it

 

b) how/where could I configure the F5 to start throttling?

 

 

BTW, I'm not the guy who would be implementing this. But we have some folks in house that would be. They can reach out to professional services if they can't do it themselves. But I'm hoping to steer them in a good direction.

 

 

THANKS!
