There are lots of components for LVS which will help monitoring,
but they are all over the place in the HOWTO (which I guess I
should fix)


There's MRTG and LVSGSP

http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.3

there's a MIB

http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.4

there's statistics

http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.2

some philosophy about monitoring agents and why they should be separate from
the director kernel code

http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/Joseph.Mack/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO-21.html#ss21.12

There aren't any guis or interfaces designed for LVS but there's some
from the cluster/beowulf world that could be adapted to LVS. The first
listed below is quite simple, while the second is probably more complicated
than needed for LVS.

Then you have ipvsadm the user interface to LVS to alter the loadbalancing
behaviour of LVS
