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

mp_setlogicalunitloadbalancetype

MP_SetLogicalUnitLoadBalanceType(3MPAPI)	   Common Multipath Management Library Functions	  MP_SetLogicalUnitLoadBalanceType(3MPAPI)

NAME

       MP_SetLogicalUnitLoadBalanceType - set a load balancing policy

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lMPAPI [ library... ]
       #include <mpapi.h>

       MP_STATUS MP_SetLogicalUnitLoadBalanceType(MP_OID logicalUnitoid,
	    MP_LOAD_BALANCE_TYPE  loadBalance);

PARAMETERS

       logicalUnitOid	 The object ID of the multipath logical unit.

       loadBalance	 The desired load balance policy for the specified logical unit.

DESCRIPTION

       The  MP_SetLogicalUnitLoadBalanceType()	function sets the multipath logical unit's load balancing policy. The value must correspond to one
       of the supported values in MP_PLUGIN_PROPERTIES.SupportedLogicalUnitLoadBalanceTypes.

RETURN VALUES

       MP_STATUS_INVALID_OBJECT_TYPE

	   The logicalUnitOid does not specify any valid object type. This is most likely to happen if an uninitialized object ID is passed to the
	   API.

       MP_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER

	   The loadBalance is invalid or logicalUnitOid has a type subfield other than MP_OBJECT_TYPE_MULTIPATH_LU.

       MP_STATUS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

	   The logicalUnitOid owner ID or object sequence number is invalid.

       MP_STATUS_SUCCESS

	   The operation is successful.

       MP_STATUS_FAILED

	   The	specified  loadBalance	type  cannot  be  handled  by  the  plugin.  One possible reason for this is a request to set MP_LOAD_BAL-
	   ANCE_TYPE_PRODUCT when the specified logical unit has no corresponding MP_DEVICE_PRODUCT_PROPERTIES instance (i.e., the plugin does not
	   have a product-specific load balance algorithm for the LU product).

       MP_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED

	   The implementation does not support the API.
