Server Status - Field Help

Edit any of the following configuration settings on the Server Status panel and click Update Configuration.

Network router address

The IP address of the router that will be used to resolve the address of the remote server if this server is used as part of a wide area network. If there is a router address defined, the Dispatcher will encapsulate packets before forwarding them. This field does not apply if the server is local (on the same subnet as the Dispatcher machine).

Server weight

The weight for this server that is used in load balancing between servers on the same port. The default value is 10.

Fixed weight

Indicates whether the server weight should stay fixed when the manager is running. The default is NO. When fixed weight is specified as NO, the manager will adjust the weight for this server for optimal performance. If fixed weight has been specified as YES, the server weight is 'fixed' and will not be updated by the manager.

Current status

The current status of the server. Possible values are:

  • Down
  • Up

Collocated

Specifies whether or not the Network Dispatcher is installed on one of the server machines it is load balancing.

Note:The collocated option does not apply to the Windows platform, which cannot support collocated servers

Sticky for rule

Default is YES, which specifies that the server is to stay sticky when the port is designated as sticky. Setting this option to NO (non-stick) overrides the sticky affinity of the port when a request is routed to a server which is experiencing an overflow.

NOTE: Sticky for rule is only valid if the port sticky time is set to a nonzero value.

Quiesced Status

Specifies whether or not this server has been quiesced. If the server has been quiesced, then no connections are being sent.



The following current statistics are also displayed on the Server Status panel:

Cluster address

The IP address of the cluster associated with this server.

Port number

The number of the port to which this server is defined.

Server address

The IP address of this server.

Active connections

The number of connections that are in the active state.

FINed connections

The number of connections that are in the FIN state. A client sends a FIN packet to let the server know that the transaction is finished.

Completed connections

The number of connections that are completed. A connection is in complete state after the FIN packet is received and garbage collection has been performed in order to free the memory used to hold this connection information.

Kbytes transferred per second

The number of kilobytes transferred in a one second interval

UDP connections

The number of UDP (User Datagram Protocol) connections.

TCP connections

The number of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections.

Total connections

The total number of connections.
