ITS load balancing issue

[Former Member]

Hi all,

During our testing we are getting a load balancing issue. However, one of the agates in our network is has more CPU power than compared to the other agates in our ITS network. The memory on all the agate servers is the same.

Our current issue we are getting is the one agate that has more cpu power but acquires more sessions as compared to the other two agates. It roughly gets 60 more sessions per agate process as compare to the other Agate servers. Does having more cpu on a Agate affect the load balancing on ITS? We are on ITS patch level 19 with the Hotfix.

Thanks,

Hello Jin,

yes, at (re)initialize the WGate retrieves the capacity from the AGates.

This is an accumulated number based on CPU performance and the number of CPUs!

The number can be seen in "wgate-status" as the "Capacity" of the AGate.

When running multiprocess Agates the number is retrieved from the MManager and also involves the number of agate-processes.

The WGate dispatches the load in proportion depending on these capacity numbers.

By my knowledge there is no way that these values can be configured (fixed).
