Figure51 Viewingserverinformation
The dynamic weight is the current weight assigned by Equalizer to the server. The active
connections and total connections show current connections statistics. The number of seconds
spent idle is shown as idle time. For a Layer 4 server, idle time is replaced by sticky connections;
a Layer 4 connection to an L4 TCP or UDP cluster with a non-zero sticky time. See “Enabling
Sticky Connections” on page 80.

The Plot Server feature (see Figure 52) enables you to view a graphical representation of the
performance history for any server.

the selected server appears. See Figure 52 on page 109.
By default, the active connections, service time, computed load, and dynamic weight are
plotted for the previous 30 minutes. To change the information plotted, select the categories and
duration you want to plot and click the Plot button.
