Weblogic Monitoring via iControl

Is it possible with iControl to Load Balance based off the JVM health of our application servers? Basically I want a server to report its session and heap health the Load balancer and then load balancing decisions to be made from that data. Is this the case for iControl + a customer monitor?

    iControl isn't part of the load balancing. Think of it as a way to programmatically do things that you would normally have to do in the GUI or CLI. But, you can use iControl to change the load balancing decisions. I'd build a little app that monitors your servers health, and then updates the load balancing parameters accordingly with iControl calls. Check out the PoolMember interface for methods to control the priority and ratios of a pools members.
