Adjusting Timeout for Each Service
Clicking on the service type on each farm will allow you to change the timeout
value of layer 7 testing for each different service. Please note this change is
global and 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 the
web server does not respond to the WebMux™ protocol chat within 5 seconds,
the 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 is not really dead but for some reason not responding to the checking
request, the WebMux™ will false alarm. To avoid this, the user can change the
timeout value to a larger value. Many times, servers can not resolve the IP
address for the back end of the WebMux™ IP address and could cause the
server to not respond to the 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.
