Load Balancer - Why do I need logs and graphical reports?

Because as well as performance, you want to achieve high-availability.
It is impossible to achieve high-availability without detailed logging and analysis.

Why do I need 3 of them?

It's better to have a Development or Hot Spare on site than it is to trust a service contract. In fact a lot of companies buy 5 Load Balancers!
(2 x Live, 2 x Test & 1 x dev)

Load Balancer - Why choose a load balancer .org appliance?

Fastest Load balancer in its class and also the cheapest Load Balancer.
Best Value, Quality and Reliability.
We listen to and value our customers.

Description
VIEW CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Provides a real-time look at the status of each load balanced service including numerous traffic statistics helpful for troubleshooting and performance monitoring. Using a color-coded graphical representation, administrators can quickly and easily see the health of each real server and subsequently bring servers offline/online should they so wish.
REPORTS > GRAPHICAL STATS OVER TIME

Displays detailed graphical statistics that are updated every 5 minutes allowing you to analyze traffic patterns over days, weeks, months or even years. Stats are generated for each virtual service and real server in connections/sec and bytes/sec. Global network/network and CPU usage are also tracked. If you wish to generate your own specific graphs you can utilize the full built in SNMP functionality with your own graphing software. Each graph links to a larger view for detailed analysis.
LOGS > LDIRECTORD

Within LOGS administrators can view numerous system events. The ldirectord log shows the output from the health checking daemon. This is useful for checking how healthy your real servers are or diagnosing any configuration errors. The lbadmin log shows any changes made via the admin system, which can be useful to prove that someone has changed something that they should not have done. The heartbeat log shows the status of the heartbeat between the master and slave nodes in an HA configuration.
REPORTS > HAPROXY STATISTICS

The layer 7 engine HAProxy has its own web based statistics report. This screen clearly shows the status and traffic levels for all virtual services. It also shows the health of the real servers and their recent history. These statistics are slightly more detailed than the standard system overview and include error reports.
MAINTENANCE > DISASTER RECOVERY

Enables the full and identical restoration of any load balancer configuration. Backups can be easily created and subsequently restored from the XML configuration file. From this page administrators can download the XML file, download the Firewall script, upload an XML file and restore, restore from the last online backup or restore manufacturers settings.
EDIT CONFIGURATION > EXECUTE A SHELL COMMAND

As the only vendor to offer full root access to our appliances we even have the option to execute a shell command via the Web GUI. This allows an administrator to execute a shell command as super user on the appliance and view the output.
