Load Balancing Additional Web Servers (AWS)

Working on a team managing a fairly large Orion installation. Currently accessing the Solarwinds console through a single web server.

We would like to set up 1-3 Additional Web Servers (AWS) and set them up in a load-balancing configuration, i.e. URI "orion.mycompany.internal" goes to one IP address, but session requests get distributed between the web servers.

Looking at the HA documentation it does not appear the HA product works with web servers and does not provide load balancing functionality.

Please advise if Solarwinds offers a load balancing solution for web servers, or if we need to use a third-party device such as an F5 for load balancing.

Thanks.

jhandberg Thanks and what is your configuration ? Only sticky sessions in load balancer ?
And how do you check the availability of the webserver ? (only the login page) ?

Helllo,

We use GCP load balancer (and F5 load balancing in my previous company) ; i have configured the health check on favicon.ico (don't know if we still have the bug, but with terraform we could not use health check in a sub directory ; so i used favicon.ico as it's on root path)
