Active Threads
The number of active threads in the server. This number is also the number of open connections. Some of these connections might be sleeping though, waiting for feedback in a keep-alive request.
Threads in Pool
Shows the number of threads currently pooled. Thread pooling means that OctaGate Switch™ doesn't need to create new threads for new connections, but can re-use old threads.
Active LB Connections
When OctaGate Switch™ uses Load Balancing, it keeps track of connections for a set amount of time so that a user will redirected to the same server for the duration of the session. Once a Load Balancing Connetion has been inactive for a period of time, the connection will be dropped. Active LB Connections indicate how many LB Connections are currently being tracked by OctaGate Switch™.
Connections
The number of connections that have been established in OctaGate Switch™ since it was started.
Requests
The number of unique requests since the server was started. This isn't the same as connections, because one connection, using Keep-Alive, can handle several requests.
LB Connections
LB Connections indicate how many Load Balanced connections have been opened since OctaGate Switch™ was started. (See Active LB Connections above).
