Yes, but: - you need to activate a watchdog thread by using JkWatchdogInterval - you might need to tune connection_ping_interval - finally you will end up not getting what you want, because all of that doesn't give you real time monitoring The idea of this type of ping is to detect connections that are no longer usable, because they were idle for to long and have been cut e.g. by a firewall. Broken backends usually are detected reliable, e.g. via prepost ping. Yes, that only happens when you start to use them. There is no backend probing in the watchdog thread at the moment. Yes that's one of the enhancements on the list for a future release. Usually detecting on demand is enough. You can have your own probing: regularly probe your service, using a dummy session cookie of the form JSESSIONID=X.NODE where you replace NODE with the jvmRoute of the backend you want to probe.
