Resource based http load balancing
Hi all,
I am looking for a solution to the following issue.
Basically, we are going to be implementing a series of front end splunk search heads (basically IO intensive web servers).
And wish to automatically redirect a new connection to the search head from the pool with most available resources (ie. least load).
I would like to be able to do this via an apache based load balancing solution, as I have used it in the past. However, not sure how to go about balancing by available resources.
I have a strong knowledge in SNMP and Apache so, if there is anyway to do it, I am sure I could tackle it.
Cheers guys,
Aaron.

As I can't find anything I am now looking into modifying a sub module for the mod_proxy_loadbalancer module.
I found the sub module to work off of here:
asf - Revision 1207701: /httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/proxy/examples
Do you think I am working in the right direction?
I know alot of perl/bash but, no C... so, I am now twidling in that... :S

If you have two or more servers load balancing, are the servers mirroring one another? If images, etc., are uploaded, will they be stored on all the servers so that if one server goes down, the images will be served up by another server? (1 Reply)

NAME
apache - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server overview
DESCRIPTION
apache consists of a main server daemon, loadable server modules, some additional support utilities, configuration files, and documenta-
tion.
FILES
The apache HTTPD server is integrated with Solaris.
The following files specify the installation locations for apache:
/etc/apache Contains server configuration files.
A newly-installed server must be manually configured before use. Typically this involves copying httpd.conf-example
to the httpd.conf file and making local configuration adjustments.
/usr/apache/bin Contains the httpd executable as well as other utility programs.
/usr/apache/htdocs Contains the Apache manual in HTML format. This documentation is accessible by way of a link on the server test
page that gets installed upon fresh installation.
/usr/apache/include Contains the Apache header files, which are needed for building various optional server extensions with apxs(8)
/usr/apache/jserv Contains documention for the mod_jserv java servlet module. Documention can be read with a web browser using the
url:
file:/usr/apache/jserv/docs/index.html
/usr/apache/libexec Contains loadable modules (DSOs) supplied with the server. Any modules which are added using apxs(8)are also copied
into this directory.
/usr/apache/man Contains man pages for the server, utility programs, and mod_perl.
Add this directory to your MANPATH to read the Apache man pages. See NOTES.
/usr/apache/perl5 Contains the modules and library files used by the mod_perl extension to Apache.
/var/apache/cgi-bin Default location for the CGI scripts.
This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.
/var/apache/htdocs Default document root.
This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server.
/var/apache/icons Icons used by the server.
This normally shouldn't need to be changed.
/var/apache/logs Contains server log files.
The formats, names, and locations of the files in this directory can be altered by various configuration directives
in the httpd.conf file.
/var/apache/proxy Directory used to cache pages if the caching feature of mod_proxy is enabled in the httpd.conf file.
The location of the cache can also be changed by changing the proxy configuration in the httpd.conf file.

NOTES
In addition to the documentation and man pages included with Solaris, more information is available at http://www.apache.org
The Apache man pages are provided with the programming modules. To view the manual pages for the Apache modules with the man command, add
/usr/apache/man to the MANPATH environment variable. See man(1) for more information. Running catman(1M) on the Apache manual pages is
not supported.
