Monitoing a Reverse Proxy and Weblogic Servers

Depends on which pieces you're load balancing.

 

 

Sounds like you're load balancing the webserver tier only of a silo configuration (each webserver fronts a specific portal instance, webserver + portal pair = silo).

 

 

If that's the case, then you'll just want to create a monitor that reaches through the web tier to retrieve some content that only a successful query to the portal server could retrieve. That way, if either the webserver or the portal server are not responding as expected, the webserver would be marked DOWN and the other webserver/portal silo would get the traffic.
