VLB Logging
Equalizer VLB writes a number of messages to the equalizer log (
Equalizer > Status > Event Log
). These messages
are described below (timestamps normally displayed at the beginning of each line have been omitted):
Logged into Virtual Machine manager successfully
Failed to connect to Virtual Machine manager
Failed to log into Virtual Machine manager
The messages above indicate that Equalizer attempted to log into the vCenter or ESX Server IP
configured on the
VLB
tab. The status of the first login attempt after a reboot is recorded in the
log; subsequent attempts are only logged if the login status changed since the last login. For
example, the first successful login attempt is logged; subsequent successful attempts are not
recorded. Likewise, the first failure is recorded; no further messages are logged during
subsequent attempts until a login attempt succeeds.
VLB: probe: Server IP_address VLB state changed from old_value to new_value
A message in the above format indicates that the VLB agent return value for the virtual machine
at
IP_address has changed since the last probe of the vCenter (or ESX Server). Both the
previous return value ( old_value ) and the latest return value ( new_value ) are logged in the
message.
