In order for all SDN statistics graphs to be displayed, the relevant Virtual Service(s) and Real Server(s) need to be added to the Historical Graphs view. To do this, follow the steps below in the LoadMaster WUI:

  1. Go to Statistics > Historical Graphs.

  2. Click the cog icon next to Virtual Services.

  3. Select the relevant Virtual Services to enable the statistics graphs for.
  4. Click the right arrow to enable them.
  5. Click the close button.
  6. Repeat the steps in the Real Servers section to add Real Servers, as needed.

After the Virtual Services and Real Servers have been added, go to SDN Statistics in the main menu of the LoadMaster WUI to view the SDN statistics.

Note: Statistics will not be displayed unless the SDN Controller has been added and is communicating with the LoadMaster. If the Name, Version and Credentials are not displaying it means that the LoadMaster is not connected to the SDN Controller. This could mean that the configuration is not correct, or the SDN Controller is down.

Two types of statistics are displayed on this screen - network traffic and adaptive parameters:

  • Network traffic - this displays the number of bits and bytes transferred per second for each of the Real Servers. The maximum, average and minimum number of bits/bytes per second are shown.
  • Adaptive parameters - this displays details about the adaptive value (cntrl) and the weight.
