Weighted

Weighted mode for Load Balancer EIP. With this policy in case of failures, the exchange will be tried on the next endpoint.

Options

The Weighted eip supports 3 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

distributionRatio

Required The distribution ratio is a delimited String consisting on integer weights separated by delimiters for example 2,3,5. The distributionRatio must match the number of endpoints and/or processors specified in the load balancer list.

String

distributionRatioDelimiter

Examples

In this example, we want to send the most message to the first endpoint, then the second, and only a few to the last.

The distribution ratio is 7 = 4 + 2 + 1. This means that for every seventh message then 4 goes to the first, 2 for the second, and 1 for the last.
