Hi
This part is still sligtly confusing to me:
We have 575 potential connections that we can except on the httpd
server, according to my understanding mod_jk will load balance these
connections to the tomcat servers. Thus typically 48 connections per
tomcat. This does seem obviously wrong ...
We are seeing avarage amount of connections of about 245 per tomcat
server on the apache box when we reach a state were all servers are in
"W" state. That is about 3000 connections in total over the 12 tomcats.
This does not tally up with the default maximum of 200. Any ideas where
this additional connections comes from??
We feel confident that we don't have stale connections. Connections on
the httpd side and connections on the tomcat side tally up. lsof on the
tomcat box is also exactly the same as the netstat result.
Commands used:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lsof|grep -i 8009 |grep -i established |grep -vi
localhost -c
75
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# netstat -ant|grep 8009 |awk '{print $5}'|awk -F:
'{print $4}'|sort|uniq -c
8
1 *
75 10.100.11.225
8 127.0.0.1
