Question by Brian C. · May 19, 2015 at 10:17 PM · production

Using hardware Load Balancer for collectors

I am looking to setup up a hardware load balancer in front of our application Montioring collectors, and was looking for some guidance on it. 

 Also curious if anyone had done it on a large scale. 

We are are version 6.0 currently, but are looking to upgrade to 6.2 this summer.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian,

 

I had a client using a VIP successfully in front of collectors. In general, you should make sure the load balancer has a "persistent connections" setting, and should load balance based on "least connections" (the default is generally round robin). The agents then get the address of the VIP as the collector, and the VIP automatically forwards traffic to the collectors based on its load balancing algorithm. The client had about 1000 host monitoring agents connecting to about 20 collectors.
