Cluster
The host name to which clients connect. For example, www.mycompany.com


Configuration Settings

Edit any of the values on the Configuration settings tab, then click Update Configuration.

Default sticky time (seconds)
The default sticky time for all future ports on this cluster. Sticky time is used to create an affinity relationship between a client and a specific server. When the sticky time has been exceeded, the client might be sent to a server different from the previous. Sticky time can be overridden on a per-port basis. The default value is 0, meaning that the port is not sticky. This can also be set at the executor level.

Default port stale timeout (seconds)
The default number of seconds during which there can be no activity on a connection before that connection is removed. This time can be overridden on a per-port basis. The default is 300.

Default port weight bound
The default weight bound for all future ports on this cluster. This value can be overridden on a per-port basis. The default value is 20 and can also be set at the executor level.

Maximum number of ports
The maximum number of ports on this cluster. The default value is 8 and can also be set at the executor level.

Default maximum servers per port
The default maximum number of servers per port on this cluster. This value can be overridden on a per-port basis. The default value is 32 and can also be set at the executor level.


Proportions

Note: The proportion given to the active connections, plus the proportion given to the new connections, plus the proportion given specific to the port, plus the proportion give to system metrics must total 100.

Proportion given to active connections:
A number from 0-100 representing the proportion of weight given to the active connections. The default value is 50.

Proportion given to new connections:
A number from 0-100 representing the proportion of weight given to the new connections. The default value is 50.

Proportion given specific to the port:
A number from 0-100 representing the proportion of weight given to the information coming from an advisor about a port. The default value is 0.

Proportion given to system metrics:
A number from 0-100 representing the proportion of weight given to system metrics from the Metric Server. The default value is 0.

Sum of proportions (must be 100):
The sum of the above proportions. This total must equal 100.

List of System Metrics
