Configuration for Timer Based HealthCheck

After you enable the timer-based HealthCheck for each target operation in a target operation group of RoundRobinWithFailover or WeightedRoundRobinWithFailover, you must configure the HealthCheck parameters.

To configure the HealthCheck parameters for a target operation, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Start the GUI server, if not already running.
  2. Log in to the Config UI using your credentials.
  3. Add a new project or select an existing project under Projects, as applicable.
  4. Click the Target Operation Groups tab.
  5. Select a Target Operation of RoundRobinWithFailover or WeightedRoundRobinWithFailover type for the Type parameter from the drop-down list.
  6. Expand the Health Check node to enter the HealthCheck configuration parameters described as follows:
    HealthCheck Configuration Parameters
    Parameter Description
    Health Check Mode
    • Specifies the mode for the HealthCheck functionality.
    • The possible values are:
      • Timer
      • Reset
    • Select Timer from the drop-down list.
    Health Check Method
    • Specifies the method to be used by HealthCheck to check the availability of the target operation. The possible values are:
      • HTTP
      • HTTPS
      • HealthCheckURL
      • TCPEcho
      • ContentVerification
      • SampleRequest
    • This is a Required field.
    Check Interval Specifies a time interval (in millseconds) which is used by HealthCheck as an expiration time to check the health status of the target operation.

    For example, if this value is specified as 10000, the HealthCheck checks the health status of the target operation after every 10 seconds, whether the target operation is running or not. The health status of the target operation is used by routing functionality to determine whether to route a request to this target operation or not.

  7. Save the changes to your configuration.
