10.4. Configuring Web Context Metrics
mod_cluster can use different types of metrics to determine how to balance traffic most efficiently. These metrics are described in the mod_cluster documentation. These metrics include things like active sessions, request counts, and traffic.
Additionally, custom metrics can be written and added to the subsystem.
These metrics can be added to the
mod_cluster subsystem configuration for JBoss ON to monitor (and existing metrics can be removed).
