Adjusting Timeout for Each Service

Click on the service type of each farm will allow you to change the timeout value

of layer 7 testing for each different service. Please note this change is global that

will affect all the farms using the same type of service. For example, the default

timeout for checking HTTP protocol alive or not is 5 seconds. If web server does

not respond to the WebMux protocol chat within 5 seconds, WebMux will declare

that server is dead and switch that server out from service and notify the operator

through email or pager. However, if your web server did not really dead but for

some reason not responding to the checking request, WebMux would false

alarm. To avoid this, user can change the timeout value to a larger value. Many

times, servers can not resolve the IP address for the back end of WebMux IP

address could cause server not responding to WebMux’s protocol checking.

Adding the WebMux server LAN IP address and server LAN gateway address to

the name resolution table will help resolve this problem. Please read the Q&A

section for more information.
