VirtualMetric Dashboard is the HTML based web interface to access VirtualMetric. You can easily install two or more VirtualMetric Dashboard roles to form a high availability VirtualMetric Dashboard.
Load balancing is a way to distribute workload across multiple web servers. The purpose is to attain optimal resource utilization, maximize request throughput, minimize response time, and avoid server overload.
Load balancers use various algorithms to accomplish this task. One of the simplest algorithms is round robin, which sends each new request to a different web server in an attempt to load all servers equally. Other algorithms send specific types of requests to specific servers in an attempt to reduce response time.
Create an entry for your VirtualMetric Dashboard roles on the load balancer. After that, you can reach to load balancer entry instead of VirtualMetric Dashboard roles IP addresses.
