Monitoring the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancer

eG Enterprise provides a specialized Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancer monitoring model (see the below figure), which periodically collects measures from various components of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and notifies administrators of potential performance issues and processing slowdowns experienced on the whole by the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancer.

Using the metrics reported, administrators can find quick and accurate answers for the following performance questions: 

• Were there too many HTTP errors in the backend sets/backend servers?

• Is the percentage of successful SLAs too low in the backend sets/backend servers/load balancers?

• Is the load balancer/backend set/backend server receiving/transmitting too much data?

• Are there too many closed connections in the backend set/backend server?

• Is the backend set/backend server taking too long to respond to a TCP/HTTP request?

• Is the backend set/ backend server/load balancer in critical condition?

• Is the number of failed SSL handshakes too high?
