What does Connected: mean on the Modcluster manager page

[isa154]

Hi All

I am running Wilfly 8 final with mod_cluster 1.2.6.Final. I noticed on the mod_cluster_manager page one of my balancers has Connected:-1 and my other 2 balancers have Connected:0.    What does this indicate?

Balancer: mycluster,LBGroup: ,Flushpackets: Off,Flushwait: 10000,Ping: 10000000,Smax: 1,Ttl: 60000000,Status: OK,Elected: 12900,Read: 71937204,Transferred: 9719476,Connected: -1,Load: 1

I have read  the below in the documentation. So what does -1 one mean ?

Connected: Corresponds to the number of requests been processed when the mod_cluster status page was requested.

The description is correct, it shows number of requests that are currently being processes. So with a low load and very quick responses, it will most likely show 0.

One way to test is to use a servlet that will hold off a few seconds before responding  to the client/balancer (e.g. clusterbench/clusterbench-ee7-web/src/main/java/org/jboss/test/clusterbench/web/load/AverageSystemLoadServlet.java at ma… accessed via http://localhost:6666/clusterbench/averagesystemload?milliseconds=20000&threads=4).

And really, -1 should not be there. It is a bug I have reported a while ago, see: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-387 (it is probably not yet fixed).
