To determine which instances are healthy, the load balancer periodically polls the registered instances. You can use the 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.
Note
After you initially set up your load balancer, Eucalyptus automatically performs a health check to protect against potential side-effects caused by instances being terminated without being deregistered. This health check uses the instance port defined in the load balancer configurationeulb-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.
