Displaying Server Farm Statistics and Status Information
You can display statistics and status information for a particular server farm.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Config > Virtual Contexts > context > Load Balancing > Server Farms.
The Server Farms table appears.
Step 2 In the Server Farms table, choose a server farm from the Server Farms table, and click Details.
The show serverfarm name detail CLI command output appears. For details about the displayed output
fields, see the Server Load-Balancing Guide, Cisco ACE Application Control Engine, Chapter 2,
Configuring Real Servers and Server Farms.
Step 3 Click Update Details to refresh the output for the show serverfarm name detail CLI command.
The new information appears in a separate panel with a new timestamp; both the old and the new server
farm statistics and status information appear side-by-side to avoid overwriting the last updated
information.
Step 4 Click Close to return to the Server Farms table.

Configuring Health Monitoring
You can instruct the ACE appliance to check the health of servers and server farms by configuring health
probes (sometimes referred to as keepalives). After you create a probe, you assign it to a real server or
a server farm. A probe can be one of many types, including TCP, ICMP, Telnet, HTTP, and so on. You
can also configure scripted probes using the TCL scripting language (see TCL Scripts, page 6-40).
