The cluster summary lists the configured clusters and the status of each server in the
cluster:
Servers shown in green are currently active.
Servers shown in yellow are configured as hot spares.
Servers shown in red are down. Equalizer monitors the status of active servers by
periodically probing the IP address and Port specified by the server endpoint. If these
probes fail two consecutive times, it marks the server down and stops routing new
requests to that server. A server probe might fail even if the server machine is up and
running. For instance, if the HTTP server daemon fails on a server machine, Equalizer
will refuse connections to that endpoint.
Equalizer periodically queries servers that have gone down to determine if they have
become available again. When a server comes back online, Equalizer begins to route
requests to the server, slowly increasing the server's weight to its full capability.
