Server CPU as Keepalive Parameter - Is it possible?

[howard.yang]

Is there anyway for Keepalive to check the server CPU utilization as a way to determine if the service is dead or alive?

Howard,

because the CSS has a script language, you can basically do whatever you want.

You could have a script running on the server to get the server cpu and save it into a file.

Via the CSS script language, you could retrieve this value and decided to use or not the server.

There is also something called DFP - dynamic feedback protocol. If your server vendor support this protocol you can use it to report server status to the CSS.

Regards,

Gilles.
