"Hot Standby" option in Path-specific routing

jcvd

Does anyone know how the "Hot-Standby" option works inside a Business Application Rule on the XG. This is under the "Path-specific routing" inside the rule. The information from the help guide says

_________________________

"(Optional) 'Enable hot-standby mode' by activating the checkbox.

All requests will be sent to the first selected real webserver and the others will only used as backup in case the main server fails."

_________________________

 My question is how does the XG know when the "main server fails". Is this a ping to the server or is it looking for a 200 HTTP response etc?

    jcvd,

    good question. Inside the Web server section, when you create a new web server, there is a timeout field so I am not sure if XG BAR uses that value to understand that the server is down.

    I guess a HTTP request is made to the same url you define inside the Path routing. Documentation does not help. I searched even on UTM WAF, nothing more.
