Overview
This guide will help you in how to manage the Load Balancer from Admin panel
List Load Balancer
Go to Admin panel -> Load Balancer -> List load Balncer
Manage Load Balancer
Once you click on the Manage Load Balancer button you will get the following wizard for that Load Balancer
There are multiple tabs on the Manage load balancer wizard. We will describe all of them one by one.
VPS List - Here all the VM(s) will be listed which are under/behind this Load Balancer. To which the traffice will be redirected as per the Rules and algorithm selected.
Rules List - Here you will see the current list of Rules which are being applied for the VM(s) which are under the current Load Balancer. By default, one rule will be added once you add any VM under the load balancer.
Settings - This tab will provide you the option to add Rules and set algorithms for how the load balancer should manage the requests for all the VM(s) under this load balancer.
Load Balancer Method:
1. roundrobin - Round Robin selects servers in turns. This is the default algorithm.
2. leastconn - Select the server with the least number of connections. This is
recommended for longer sessions. Servers in the same backend are also
rotated in a round-robin fashion.
3. static-rr - Distributes each request sequentially around a pool of real servers as does Round-Robin,
but does not allow configuration of server weight dynamically. However,
because of the static nature of server weight, there is no limitation
on the number of active servers in the back end.
4. first - Select the on first come first serve bases.
Load Balancer Rules
Load balancer rules will be based on two parts one will be for frontend (Load balancer) and the second will be for Backend (VM(s)).
You can set the Source protocol and Port for the Load balancer and Destination Protocol and Port for the VM(s).
Supported Source protocols are : HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP2, HTTP3, TCP
Supported Destination protocols are : HTTP, HTTPS, TCP
Statistics - It will show the Statistics Table for the Load balancer
Logs - It will show the Log from the Load Balancer Machine.
