Setting pool member ratio

We want to use an adaptive type load balancing method.

 

Can we use LocalLB.PoolMember.set_ratio to dynamically affect the Ratio load balancing method?

 

Or do we use the Dynamic Ratio load balancing method and use LocalLB.PoolMember.set_dynamic_ratio? But, the documentation on load balancing methods indicate the Dynamic Ratio type is used with a specific performance monitor.

    If you decide to use Ratio LB, you can use LocalLB::PoolMember::set_ratio to dynamically affect the LB decisions.

     

     

    If you decide to use Dynamic Ratio LB, then you can use LocalLB::NodeAddress::set_dynamic_ratio to influence the LB decisions.

     

     

    Yes, Dynamic Ratio LB is used in our performance monitors, which basically sets the dynamic ratio on the node addresses.
