Load Balancer monitoring can be used to detect Web server outages or problems.

You can use reports or the graphical port monitor to detect Web server issues.

If Load Balancer assigns a negative weight to a server for a balanced port, the advisor for that port is not able to reach the balanced server. If the weight is negative on all other balanced ports, too, the server could be down.

If the weight for a balanced server is low, this indicates that the server is busier than other balanced servers.

Whenever Load Balancer marks a balanced server down, it looks for the script...

LOADBALANCER_HOME/bin/serverDown

If the script exists, it is executed. You can modify this script to send an alert e-mail to an administrator, or any other action that you can script.
