- State
- The current state of the primary host machine. Possible values are:
- Active - this machine is load balancing packets
- Standby - this machine is not load balancing packets; it is monitoring the state of an
active Load Balancer
- Idle - this machine is load balancing packets, and is not trying to establish contact
with a partner Load Balancer
- Listen - this machine is listening for communication from a backup Load Balancer
- Sub-state
- The current sub-state of this machine; only applies if you have configured
high availability. Possible values are:
- Synchronized - this machine has established contact with another Load Balancer
- Not Synchronized - this machine is trying to establish contact with another Load Balancer,
but has not yet succeeded
- Port number
- The number of the port on which this machine is passing heartbeat messages back and forth
with its partner.
- Role
- The role of the port. The port acts as the primary, backup or, in the case of mutual high
availability, both.
- Recovery Strategy
- The method with which the primary machine resumes load balancing.
- Auto - the primary machine resumes load balancing as soon as it comes
back into service.
- Manual - the primary machine acts as standby for the backup machine until you have
manually forced the primary to takeover
- List of heartbeats
- Current list of heartbeat source addresses, the addresses of the high availability partner
machines that send heartbeats, and their corresponding destination addresses where heartbeats and
responses are sent.
