Manage Web Agents with Multiple Web Server Instances

If you configure a Web Agent on multiple web server instances, each server instance should have its own Web Agent cache, log file, and health monitoring resources. To ensure resources are unique, you configure the following parameter:

• ServerPath

  Specifies a unique path to each web server instance when a Web Agent is configured to use multiple instances of a web server. The ServerPath creates a unique identifier for the Web Agent's caching, logging, and health-monitoring resources.

  Default: Empty

  Example: If there are four web server instances, each loading a Web Agent, then each server's WebAgent.conf file should have the ServerPath parameter set to a unique value. You can set the ServerPath parameter to the directory where the web server's log file is stored, such as server_instance_root/logs.

Note: Do not add this setting to the LocalConfig.conf file for IIS 6.0 or the LocalConfig.conf file for Apache 2.0 servers (if there is only one instance of the Apache server)

To configure a Web Agent on multiple server instances, add a unique path to the ServerPath parameter.
