Appendix D:Equalizer Configuration File

Modifying the Equalizer Configuration File

The configuration information for an Equalizer is stored in /etc/eq.conf. This file
defines all of the Equalizer, Cluster, and Server parameters for the system, as well as the
match rules used for L7 content-sensitive load balancing. Changes that you make to the
Equalizer configuration are stored in the eq.conf file. You can also edit this file manually
to modify the configuration.
The global parameters are specified at the top of the configuration file. It also contains a
block for each cluster that defines the cluster parameters and the server and match rule
parameters for each server and match rule configured for the cluster. For example:
client_timeout = 100;
sequence = 1;
checksum = 124356;
connect_timeout = 32;
probe_interval = 5;
probe_timeout = 34;
strikeout_threshold = 35;
log_hours = 24;
plot_clip = 3;
sticky_netmask = "255.255.255.255";
flags = enable_outbound_nat;
flags = pasv_ftp;
flags = enable_outbound_nat, pasv_ftp;
flags = pedantic_agent;
checksum = 1;
sequence = 1;
cluster l7_http {
protocol = http;
ip = "20.0.0.221";
port = 80;
flags = persist;
server s1 {
ip = "20.0.0.215";
}
server s2 {
ip = "20.0.0.230";
}
match ma0 {
pathname_prefix("/ex/")
} then {
flags = spoof;
servers = s1;
}
}
