How to Load Balance Event Collection

Hi, 
I got the Windows Event Forwarding working, but how can I load balance a huge number of souce computers to forwared their events to two or more servers in my domain?
Im Using Windows Server 2012R2 as my collectors and 2008R2 and after as my forwarders.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi DDerJoel,
Windows Event forwarding is a build-in functionality, easy to use. But it does not provide load balance function. System Center Operations Manager, as a full grown product,
provides more advanced enterprise monitoring solution.
Or you can refer the following related KB to optimize your log forwarding server.

I already got to the page you provided above in my research and it helped me out a lot, but not enough I think.
I would highly appreciate if you find some time to help me get out of my confusion Here
Thanks in advance.

  • How the Load balancing happens in CPO

    Hi All,
    On what bases the process engine selects the process or request and how the load balancing happens.

    Hi!
    I am a little confused by the question (as it refers to "request"), but I am going to assume that you are asking how a High Availability Process Orchestrator environment with several servers chooses which processes running on which server.
    The answer to that question is...
    In general, processes to be executed are split equally between all servers. The only piece of data being taken into account during process instance assignment is the current load on the servers (as counted by the number of top-level processes, not counting child processes). For example, suppose that there are 3 servers in the environment, and server A is running 5 top-level processes, servers B & C are running 3 top-level processes. When new process is started (e.g. on a schedule or manually or triggered via an external event), it will be assigned to either server B or server C for execution, because servers B & C have less load. If under the same circumstances (A:5, B:3, C:3), there are 4 processes started at the same time. When the work is distributed, the total expected work 5+3+3=11 (existing work) and 4 (new work) will be distributed equally with, with servers B&C each getting 2 new processes.
    This is a general load balancing algorithms used by the servers in HA environment to decide which server runs which process instance.
    There are other factors that come into play, as some processes/activities can only run on server A or server B for technical limitations (e.g. SAP work against a particular SAP System can only be executed from one server in the environment). When those come into play, the work may end up distributed unevenly.
    Note that available memory, CPU load, or disk space on servers are not directly taken into account during load distribution.

  • Web Services Round Robin Service Load Balancer Event Endpoint Failure

    ok, thanks, I'll have a look at that.
    Going back to my issue...  Since I stopped the User Profile Service on the Application server, now I'm getting these non-stop messages in the log:

    This time, the messages are referring to the same server - the Application Server.    In my original question, I should've differentiated the server names when I pasted the message.  Originally the message was referring to the Application
    Server and Affected Endpoint was referring to a WFE.   I'll edit my original post to make it correct.

  • How to load balance runbooks?

    Hi,
    Now I have successed to deploy an seccond Runbook Server in an test environment. But I have not fully understanding how the runbooks run on the primary vs standby. And I know that by default one Runbook Server can handle 50 runbooks, and how to scal out
    runbooks?
    How to load balance runbooks?
    How to fail over runbooks?
    /SaiTech

    you can change how many concurrent runbooks are allowed to run on a single runbook server. 50 is just a default value.
    you can assign a runbook to run on a specific runbook server (or more). this is the simplest way to load balance.
    runbooks will failover automatically. do note that the runbook will start all over, hence you need to put in safeguards in your runbook. word of adwise is to keep runbooks small and chain them together. This makes them easier to recover.

  • How to load balance two link (resilient link)

    How to load balance (if can) or failover two Fiber channel like as below?
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
    switchport mode trunk
    channel-group 1 mode active
    channel-protocol lacp
    interface GigabitEthernet0/2
    switchport mode trunk
    channel-group 1 mode active
    channel-protocol lacp

    Hi
    You can use this "port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip", this will do a XOR on source & destination IP addresses and choose the interface G0/1 if the first bit of the result is 0 or the interface G0/2 if the first bit of the result is 1.
    But you can check the path used with that command: "sh etherchannel 1 port-channel"
    You can load balance with the mac-addresses too (it is the default mode I think)

    Here are few bits of info:
    For load balancing for Analytics, that isn't officially supported yet for the UI and Administration components. It might work with sticky sessions from portal-to-analytics but that doesn't get you much. Improving the options there would be a good enhancement request.
    For the collector, I think there are two important things to remember. Use broadcast mode. I've never actually seen it in unicast mode, but broadcast definitely works. Also, remember that this is all managed by Portal and Analytics - you don't use your own load balancer between Portal instances and the Analytics Collector instances.
    Finally, ALUI Directory is not certified to be load balanced yet. On a separate note, ALUI Directory has a socket leak on Windows due to a bug in the version of Jrockit that ships with it. Upgrading the embedded application server for the ALUI/WCI installation to jrockit-R27.5.0-jdk1.5.0_14 will resolve it.

  • Question on how does load balancing work on Firewall Services Module (FWSM)

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question about the algorithm of load balancing on Firewall Services Module (FWSM).
    I understand that the FWSM supports up to three equal cost routes on the same interface for load balancing.
    Please see a lower simple figure.
    outside inside
    --- L3 SW --+
    |
    MHSRP +--- FWSM ----
    |
    --- L3 SW --+
    I am going to configure the following default routes on FWSM point to each MHSRP VIP (192.168.13.29 and 192.168.13.30) for load balancing.
    route outside_1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.13.29 1
    route outside_1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.13.30 1　　　　　　
    However I don't know how load balancing work on FWSM.
    On FWSM, load balancing work based on
    Per-Destination ?
    Per-Source ?
    Per-Packet ?
    or
    Other criteria ?
    Your information would be greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards,

    Configuring "tunnel default gateway' on the concentrator allowed traffic to flow as desired through the FWSM.
    FWSM is not capable of performing policy based routing, the additional static routes for the VPN load balancing caused half of the packets to be lost. As a result, it appears that the VPN concentrators will not be able to load balance.

  • How to load-balance LotusNotes "Sametime" with CSS11500

    I have 2 redundant CSS since a while, working fine. Recently I wanted to add load-balancing for the Chat service of LotusNotes Sametime. The problem is that the chat conversations are disconeected some how. On a first configuration, I didn't configure sticky mode on this content. Since then I added sticky mode "srcip" and a long sticky timeout (600 mn or 10 h.). But th eproblem is still the same. Can someone help ? Thank you. note : you'll find attached the configuration for the chat content.

    Hi,
    The CSS 11500 uses the ArrowPoint Content Aware (ACA) service to gather response time data for every flow for building statistical averages/variances for every service and content rule. The best servers are used, while the slow servers are pruned from the eligible list. This service also can manage persistent connections for e-commerce based on IP addresses (range), Secure Socket Layer (SSL) application IDs, and cookies.
    As you are having only 2 servers for load-balance.
    As your keepalive time is 30 sec which is quite high.
    I suppose you should change your keepalive frequency 30 to
    keepalive frequency 5
    try this
    as
    using the default values of a 5-second keepalive frequency interval, a 5-second retry period interval, and maximum of three failures, a service can transition from the alive state to the dead state in 15 seconds; a 5-second interval between a keepalive response and the initial keepalive failure based on the keepalive frequency, and two failures, each occurring at 5-second intervals based on the retry period.

  • How does load-balancing with WebCache work - is there still a bottleneck?

    Hello,
    We're migrating an old Forms 6i app to 10.1.2.0.2 (apps servers = Redhat Linux), and are starting to consider using WebCache to loadbalance between two application servers.
    My question is this - say we have apps servers A and B, both running Forms and Reports Services. We use Webcache on server A (don't have the luxury of a third apps server...) to load balance between A and B. So all initial requests come into A, which in some cases may then be diverted to start a new Forms session on B.
    For those users whose middle-tier sessions are now running on B - will all network traffic for their Forms session continue to be routed through Webcache on A, then to B, over the course of the session? Or does Webcache somehow shunt the whole connection to be straight between the client PC and server B, for the duration of that Forms session?
    If the former, does that mean that the server hosting Webcache can still be a significant bottleneck for network traffic? Have people found load-balancing with Webcache to be useful..?
    Thanks in advance,
    James

  • How to load balance Agents across multiple Oracle Management Servers?

    Hi everyone
    We have the 2 OMS servers in our OEM environment. We would like to set up our management agents to load balance over these 2 servers...Or if not load balance then at least set up the agents so they can access either/or OMS.
    I've looked through the documentation and in google, but can't seem to find the answer.
    Can someone point me towards the documentation please
    Thanks
    R

    OMS is just an appserver with a repository. You can load balance the appservers with an F5. You can load balance the repository with RAC.
    So ... your options for load balancing and resilience are :-
    1. one agent on each server, multiple OMS appservers load balanced, one RAC database (with dataguard standby)
    2. two agents per server, two appservers, two repositories.
    Both architectures work. Option 1 offers the best load balancing and resilience.

  • How to load balance serving MP4 files via AMS

    Hey gurus,
    We have one centralized storage server that stores videos, Lets call this Server A, we have 4 more servers that we want to use to load the files from Server A to load balance and location balance the loading of files.
    Servers B-E are on a private VLAN with Server A; so what we're doing now is mounting Server A on to Servers B-E and serving the files via AMS; this has proved to be quite inefficient.
    For Live Streams; we use multi-point publishing to achieve this; is there a way to do this with recorded files?
    Please advise!

  • HOW WISM LOAD BALANCING WORKS ?

    We currently have a campus with 4 WISM on 4 6509 .
    After a reload of one of these WISM, all the AP ( AIR-AP1231 ) disappear from this WISM :
    (WiSM-slot1-2) >show ap summary
    Number of APs.................................... 1
    Before the reload this WISM has 80 AP .
    The other 79 AP are now registered with another WISM .
    Is this normal or ( load balancing ) or what ?
    Any help is apreciated

    You have to check the primary/secondary/tertiary settings on the WLC, but for each access point. Go to the Wireless tab and click on an access point for this setting.
    AP Fallback mode is on the WLC under the Controller tab. It forces an access point to join its primary controller if possible. If it's disabled, the access point will be happy to stay on a non-primary controller until it reboots. If it's enabled, then as soon as its primary becomes available (either because it comes up or because you specify a new primary), it will join that controller.
    AP Fallback is convenient for load-balancing, but it can cause significant downtime if a controller goes down and comes back up immediately. All your APs will fail over to another controller at the initial drop, but they'll all switch back over once the original controller comes back. Each time will cause clients to drop. If a controller starts flapping for any reason, your wireless network will be seriously disrupted. Of course, if you leave it disabled and a controller goes down, all access points will hop over to their secondary controller and never go back. This isn't so bad, though, because you can just manually set it for AP fallback at a convenient time, let them all switch back, and then disable fallback again.
    If you do not active AP fallback mode, be sure to reset each AP after you give it a primary/secondary/tertiary controller. Otherwise it will sit tight on the current controller.
    Also, make sure that the Master Controller mode is disabled. This forces all access points to join it if you have no primary controller listed. It's under the Controller tab, under Advanced.

  • How can I observe load balance event when I have setup FCF?

    Dear expert,
    I have setup two nodes RAC on linux and implement FCF. HA event works fine, because after one node down, connections to failed node in OC4J connection pool were cleaned up immediately. And I can observe HA event like
    FINER: eventType= 256, svcName= orclx, instName= orclx1, db Name= orclx, hostName= linuxrac1, status= down, cardinality= 0
    But I cannot observe LB event, it should be received too, shouldn't it?

    Enabling Event Notification for Connection Failures in Oracle Real Application Clusters
    Event notification is enabled if the SQL_ORCLATTR_FAILOVER_CALLBACK and SQL_ORCLATTR_FAILOVER_HANDLE attributes of the SQLSetConnectAttr function are set when a connection failure occurs in an Oracle RAC Database environment. Both attributes are set using the SQLSetConnectAttr function. The symbols for the new attributes are defined in the sqora.h file. The SQL_ORCLATTR_FAILOVER_CALLBACK attribute is used to specify the address of a routine to call when a failure event takes place.
    The SQL_ORCLATTR_FAILOVER_HANDLE attribute is used to specify a context handle which will be passed as one of the parameters in the callback routine. This attribute is necessary in order for the ODBC application to determine which connection the failure event is taking place on.
    The function prototype for the callback routine is as follows:
    void failover_callback(void *handle, SQLINTEGER fo_code)
    The handle parameter is the value that was set by the SQL_ORCLATTR_FAILOVER_HANDLE attribute. Null is returned if the attribute has not been set.
    The fo_code parameter identifies the failure event that is taking place. The failure events map directly to the events defined in the OCI programming interface. The list of possible events is as follows:
    ODBC_FO_BEGIN
    ODBC_FO_ERROR
    ODBC_FO_ABORT
    ODBC_FO_REAUTH
    ODBC_FO_END

  • Load balancing host named site collection

    I am jumping into the realm of host named site collection. While the learning experience has been good, still there are some questions unanswered. Please bare patience since my questions are long.
    - I have a non host header site on port 80 that has https certificate added to IIS for supporting app store in https mode.
    - I tried to created the host name site collection using https in this default port 80 non host header web application and was greeted with error. Then i extended the web app to different  zone with port 443 . Then created the host header site collection
    with https with web application name for extended 443 one. Creation went in fine.
    - I tired to use IPs on now extended IIS site and bind certificates on that one. The site does not load. I do the same again in the default zone iss site, bind ips on that one and site loads. Now question is even though host header site collection was created
    using extended web application url , why binding had to be done on default zone IIS site?
    - Second test, i changed the authentication mode for extended, no effect on host named site collection but as soon as i changed it in default zone it reflected in host named site collection. I am confused why it needs extended zone url to create the https
    site but every change done in default zone is getting reflected on this host named site collection.
    Now for load balancing , it works fine with IP? But how to load balance these host named site collection using url. I talked with f5 team and they said i need to send some reply query string from each site. Where do i do that? Or is it even needed? 
    Accoring to this link : https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/name-based-virtual-hosting-with-ltm
    . If the site hosts an application, though, the monitor should request a dynamic page on each webserver which forces a transaction with the application to verify its health and returns a specific phrase upon success.
    For application monitoring, the recommended best practice is to create such a script specific to your application, configure the monitor Send string to call that script, and set the Receive string to match that phrase. 
    Has any one done this before? I tired to search for resource regarding this for iis or sharepoint but was not able to get anything.
    Thank you for your patience for reading such a long question. 
    Adit

    first part of question:
    Default Web Appliction in port 80: Creating https host named site collection fails.
    Extend default web application on port 443 : Https hostnamed site collection created when web application name is passed for extended web application on port 443. This means this site collection is associated with this extended web application correct? But
    all the changes made in IIS only reflect if it is made to port 80 web application. Also changing authentication scheme from Central Admin, only changes on default zone reflects on site collection not the one in extended web application? Why  if the site
    was only created on extended web application paremeter, changes on default are reflecting on it but not from extended.
    Second part of question:
    Each Hostnamed site collection when load balanced thorough f5 using IP for 3 WFE uses 3 IPs for each. This way we will run out of IPs pretty soon. I want to know if there is way to load balance these sites using Hostname or anyother paramenter through f5
    and if any body has done it? 
    https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/name-based-virtual-hosting-with-ltm link talks about sending reply string
    from application but i do not know where to set it up or how to do it? No resources in the net. Just asking if any one else has done it.

  • Two RD SH collections – RD CB load balancing 2012 R2

    I have created two RD SH collections, because some applications are only available through  on SH collections.
    How will that  effect RD CB load balancing of RD SH servers  regarding common applications, not specific  one, based on  RemotApp programs.
    I did not deploy any DNS RR for RD SH. But I did deploy NLB for  RD Web and RD CB. 

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Can you specify some more description regarding your case as actually what you want to perform?
    From your description seems you have installed one application as RemoteApp on both RDSH collections and you want that how they can be differentiated. If misunderstood then please correct. If that’s the case as described then you can assign the specific app
    of particular collection to the user whom you want. There is facility to assign RemoteApp user assignment and by that way the user can access\see the RemoteApp on RD Web access page.
    More information.
