Table 16-24:Upstream Hosts Table Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
'Index'
[UpstreamHost_HostIndex]
Defines an index number for the new table row.
Note:
â– Each row must be configured with a unique index.
â– The parameter is mandatory.
'Host'
host
[UpstreamHost_Host]
Defines the address of the host as an FQDN or IP
address (in dotted-decimal notation).
Note: The NGINX directive for this parameter is "server
host:port".
'Port'
port
[UpstreamHost_Port]
Defines the port number.
Note:
â– If the Upstream Group to which the host belongs is
configured to use the TCP/UDP protocol, then this
parameter must be configured.
â– The NGINX directive for this parameter is "server
ip:port". If not configured, NGINX defaults to 80 for
HTTP and 443 for HTTPS.
'Weight'
weight
[UpstreamHost_Weight]
Defines the weight for the load balancer. The load
balancer distributes the requests among the hosts in the
Upstream Group based on the weight of each host. For
example, if host A is configured with a weight of 3, host
B with a weight of 1, and host C with a weight of 1, then
in each cycle, the load balancer will send three requests
to host A, one request to host B and one request to host
C.
The valid range is 1 to 100. The default is 1 (i.e., each
host in the Upstream Group has equal weight).
Note: The NGINX directive for this parameter is "server
ip:port weight=n".
'Max Connections'
max-connections
[UpstreamHost_MaxConnections]
Defines the maximum number of simultaneous active
connections to the proxied Upstream Host.
The default is 0 (i.e., unlimited).
