be 100. Certain events (for example, rapid fluctuations in the load, rebooting servers, and
restarting application daemons such as httpd) can cause spikes in the computed load for the
cluster.
• Service Time is the average service time of all of the servers in the cluster. The service time
is the time it takes a server to start sending reply packets once it receives a client request. The
average service time is a reasonable indication of the overall performance of the cluster.
• Active Connections is the total number of active connections on the servers in the cluster.
• Hit Rate is the number of connections served by the cluster each second. This is a good
indication of how many “hits” the site is getting.
• Server Agent is the average of the dynamic server agent values for all servers in the cluster.
If you have not configured server agents, this value defaults to 50 (that is, the value 50 is used
by the load balancing algorithm).
For more information about these values, see the descriptions in “Plotting Server Performance
History” on page 108.
Displaying Server Information
The server screen (see Figure 51) provides information about a particular server, including the
following:
• The server’s name and the name of the cluster to which the server belongs.
• The server’s IP address and port.
• The static weight the administrator assigned to the server.
• Other configuration information such as being a hot spare or being quiesced.
To display a server’s parameters, follow these steps:
