Configure automatic state transition based on percentage health of bound services
You can configure a load balancing virtual server to automatically transition from the UP state to the DOWN state if the percentage of active services falls below a configured threshold. For example, if you bind 10 services to a load balancing virtual server and configure a threshold of 50% for that virtual server, it transitions from UP to DOWN if six or more services are DOWN. When the percentage health rises above the threshold value, the virtual server returns to the UP state.
You can also enable an SNMP alarm called ENTITY-STATE if you want the NetScaler appliance to notify you when the percentage health of bound services causes a virtual server to change state.
