Hi,
Is there any way to use HTTP monitor to monitoring
an specified url in a load balance schema (this url
haves 3 servers in a load balance schema).

Thanks

what i do is create a template that monitors via http or https with the appropriate content match etc.

I then apply it internally to all the hosts in the pool and then apply it as well to the VIP.

this gives you the ability to determine instantly when the pool goes slow which internal box(es) are responsible for the slow down.

As adeimel suggested, the simple answer is yes.

Please, can you tell me what is VIP ?

I didn't understood.

Thanks

Questionario

VIP= Virtual IP (the IP to access the cluster via load balancing)

sturdyerde

Reviving this question -- should I infer from your answer that you have added each VIP as a node in NPM and then applied a SAM template to monitor the URL:port on that VIP?

adeimel's answer is that they monitor the VIP (load balanced IP) and the individual nodes behind the load balancer. So in the original question of 1 VIP and 3 web servers, there would be 4 nodes defined in SolarWinds. That said, depending on the load balancer, your configurations, and other bits and pieces, you could also do it using URL strings that your load balancer looks for to route to specific servers, or cookies, or several other ways. It depends what you are trying to achieve.
