Load balance based on a server CPU load
Hello all,
I am trying to find a mechanism to allow the F5 to pull CPU usage off one server in a pool of four. The end goal here is to send all traffic to one server using a higher priority group until that server reach the a certain CPU threshold (85%). That will trigger that node to be disable and send the rest of traffic to the other 3 servers in the pool.
I have research this a little bit and found a few options but I need to know if anyone has implement anything like this before and how effective one solution will be compared to the other? Or if any other solution is available to accomplish this?
- SNMP DCA monitor can be use to pull the CPU info but according to SOL 14127 it can be resource extensive
- Use an external monitor like the one on this link but I don't know how well this will work.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
