That count is of TCP connections, not app sessions.

 

 

 

The application server provides me a count of *user sessions*. The number of users active on the application server with active sessions. When I say "Session", I don't mean TCP Connections, I mean users who are carrying sessions on my application servers -- not the F5.

 

 

The number of users who are authenticated to the application server still climbs drastically, despite the fact that the server has been "disabled". This means that new users (without session cookies) who are coming to the server are being sent to that server, and are logging in to it.

 

 

I hope that clarifies.

 

 

Best,
