Displaying GSS Global Server Load-Balancing Statistics

---

This chapter describes the following tools for displaying the status of global server load balancing on your GSS network:

•CLI-based commands that display the content routing and global server load-balancing statistics performed by a GSS device (primary GSSM, standby GSSM, and GSS device).

•Monitor pages in the primary GSSM GUI that display the status of global server load-balancing activity for all GSS devices in your GSS network.

This chapter contains the following major sections:

•Displaying Global Server Load-Balancing Statistics from the CLI

•Displaying Global Server Load-Balancing Statistics from the GUI

Displaying Global Server Load-Balancing Statistics from the CLI

Each GSS device includes a comprehensive set of show statistics CLI commands to display content routing and load-balancing statistics for each major component involved in the GSS global server load-balancing operation. The GSS global server load-balancing components include boomerang (CRAs), DNS, and VIP keepalives. For example, the show statistics dns command can be used to display the traffic handled by a particular DNS rule, which matches a D-proxy to an answer, or to analyze the traffic to a particular hosted domain that is managed by a GSS.

You can also display advanced traffic management functions such as DNS sticky and network proximity for the GSS device.

The following sections provide detailed instructions about using the output of the various show statistics command options to display GSS global server load-balancing operation.

•Displaying the Status of the DNS Server on a GSS

•Displaying the Status of Keepalives on a GSS

•Displaying Keepalive Answer Type Statistics

Displaying the Status of the Boomerang Server on a GSS

The boomerang server component uses calculations of network delay, provided by DNS races between content routing agents (CRAs), to determine which server is best able to respond to a given request. Use the show statistics boomerang command to display boomerang activity such as DNS races on your GSS device on a domain-by-domain basis or on a global basis.

The syntax for the show statistics boomerang command is:

show statistics boomerang {domain domain_name | global}

The options and variables are:

•domain—Displays statistics related to a named domain being served by the GSS.

•domain_name—Specifies the name of the domain.

•global—Displays statistics across the entire GSS network for the Boomerang server.

This example shows how to displays statistics across the entire GSS network for the boomerang server:

gss1.yourdomain.com# show statistics boomerang global

Boomerang global statistics:

        Total races: 24

This example shows how to displays boomerang statistics for a specific domain:

gss1.yourdomain.com# show statistics boomerang domain1

Domain statistics: (of domain1)

        DNS A requests: 

Displaying the Status of the DNS Server on a GSS

The DNS server component tracks all DNS-related traffic to and from your GSS device, including information about DNS queries received, responses sent, queries dropped and forwarded. Use the show statistics dns command option to display DNS statistics about your GSS request routing and server load-balancing components such as DNS rules, answers, answer groups, domains, domain lists, proximity lookups by rule name or zone, source addresses, and source address groups.

When displaying the DNS answer group, domain list, or source address list statistics, you may specify the verbose option to display detailed statistics about each component of your DNS rules (for example, statistics for each answer that makes up an answer group or each domain that makes up a domain list).

Request Db	Number of times the local GSS node sent a Request Db message to a GSS peer, or received a Request Db message from a GSS peer, requesting to share the contents of its sticky database upon startup.
Ack RequestDb	Number of times the local GSS node sent an Ack RequestDb message to a GSS peer, or received an Ack RequestDb message from a GSS peer, to acknowledge that it received a request to share the contents of its sticky database upon startup.
Refuse Db Req	Number of times the local GSS node sent a Refuse Db Req message to a GSS peer, or received a Refuse Db Req message from a GSS peer, indicating a refusal to share the contents of its sticky database upon startup. A GSS, typically, refuses to share the contents of its local database while in the process of performing a database synchronization.
Sync Start	Number of times the Sync Start message has been sent or received by the local GSS node. The GSS uses the Sync Start message to lock out certain critical functions (such as the use of the sticky database delete command) while any GSS within the mesh is performing a synchronization. When the Sync Start message arrives, the GSS blocks all sticky database entry deletions until it either receives the Sync Done message or an internal timer expires.
Sync Done	Number of times the Sync Done message has been sent or received by the local GSS node. The GSS uses the Sync Done message to lock out certain critical functions (such as the use of the sticky database delete command) while any GSS within the mesh is performing a synchronization.
Version mis-match	Error message indicating the number of times the local GSS node was unable to communicate with a peer due to different versions of GSS software.
Clock Out Of Sync	Error message indicating the number of times the local GSS node was unable to communicate with a peer due to clock synchronization issues. A GSS that has a system clock that is out of synchronization by greater than three minutes with the other GSS peers ignores update messages from all peers until you re-synchronize its system clock (see Chapter 8, Configuring DNS Sticky, for details).
Mask mis-match	Error message indicating the number of times the local GSS node was unable to communicate with a peer due to a difference in global subnet mask values. A GSS will drop all global sticky messages received from a GSS with a different subnet mask. A difference in global sticky masks on a peer would occur only if a configuration change was made on the primary GSSM GUI and the peer did not receive the change due to a network failure. You globally configure the subnet mask of all GSS devices in the mesh from the primary GSSM GUI Global Sticky Configuration details page (see Chapter 8, Configuring DNS Sticky, for details).

Displaying Global Sticky Operating Status

Use the show sticky global command to display the most recent sticky database message identifiers sent by the local GSS node and received from its GSS mesh peers. Message identifiers can be helpful when you need to verify the most recent sticky database messages sent from and received by the local GSS node.

To display a more detailed listing of recent global sticky message identifiers, specify the verbose option.

The syntax for the command is:

show sticky global [verbose]

Refer to the legend that appears below the listed zones for information about identifying which value represents sent echo and measurement packets, which value represents received echo and measurement packets, and which value represents the current packet send rate.

Displaying Sticky Rule Hit Statistics

Use the Sticky Rule Hit Statistics list page to display how many times the GSS accesses a DNS rule and makes a best effort to provide identical A-record responses to the requesting client D-proxy.

Refer to the legend that appears below the listed DNS rules for information about identifying which value represents successful matches and which value represents failed lookups.

Displaying Sticky Database Statistics

Use the Sticky Database Statistics list page to display the number of entries in the sticky database.

To display the number of entries in the sticky database:

Displaying Global Sticky Mesh Statistics

Use the Sticky Mesh Statistics list page to display the global mesh statistics for all GSS devices in the mesh. This list page identifies all of the GSS devices in the mesh in an X by Y matrix, with each cell displaying the device online status, packets received, packets sent, and any connection down events encountered between the nodes. The statistics appear from the local GSS node's view (X) of the session to each mesh peer (Y).

To display the global mesh statistics:

1. From the primary GSSM GUI, click the Monitoring tab.

2. Click the Traffic Mgmt navigation link.

3. Click the Sticky Mesh Stats navigation link (located in the Contents list). The Sticky Mesh Statistics list page appears (Figure 12-14).
