Forcing offline nodes and connections loss

mguerrerop

 

 

With Forced Online no new or returning connections (i.e. persistent) will be allowed but you will still see active connections for a time - depending on what service you're load balancing and the timeout values are of course - until they all drop off. When I need to do maintenance I'll Force Offline, go to Statistics (or do this via the CLI) and wait for the connections to drop to zero. With short lived services this doesn't take too long.

 

 

As for your first query, there will be a break in connection but a new connection will get sent to a pool member that's up. I suppose what the client sees again depends on the application and if it's happy with connection drops.

 

 

Hope this is useful
