Using Elastic Load Balancing / Eucalyptus Load Balancing Usage Examples |
To determine which instances are healthy, the load balancer periodically polls the registered instances. You can use the eulb-configure-healthcheck command as described in this topic.
Perform the following step to configure how the instances should be polled, how long to wait for a response, and how many consecutive successes or failures are required to mark an instance as healthy or unhealthy.
eulb-configure-healthcheck --healthy-threshold 5 --unhealthy-threshold 5 --interval 30 --timeout 120 --target HTTP:80/ MyLoadBalancer
Use --healthy-threshold and --unhealthy-threshold to specify the number of consecutive health checks required to mark an instance as Healthy or Unhealthy respectively. Use --target to specify the connection target on your instances for these health checks. Use --interval and --timeout to specify the approximate frequency and maximum duration of these health checks.
