Re: New feature request for balancer-manager: command line usage

You're right that the API really needs to be documented. My hope is that once the "make balancer-manager changes sticky" backports are approved and in 2.4.x, I'll write up in more detail how the b-m works and its API. afaik, nginx lacks any sort of dynamic reverse-proxy reconfig capability. It's o

It's correct that somebody could use an http client to do the load balancing, it's just awkward: there isn't a published API for it. The script / client might need to have some intelligence built into it, to try to figure out what the current states of the load balanced servers are, and to handle

New feature request for balancer-manager: command line usage

2012-10-30 Thread John M
Hello, I have a new feature request for the balancer-manager: the ability to enable or disable servers in the balancer using the command line, instead of using the only way that exists that I know of: the balancer-manager webpage. The use case for this would be the creation of a shell script that

I am not using the apache balancing, but using a network level load balancer, but this concept may apply. We append an HTTP header on output that tells you which machine you were on. As long as each machine has a separate config file of some sort (in our setup it is http.conf unique per machine, wi
