Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method for an end machine, that implements a distributed application, to redirect new network connection requests to other end machines that also implement the distributed application. The method receives a set of measurement data from a set of resources of the end machine and determines whether a measurement data received from a particular resource has exceeded a threshold. When the measurement data has exceeded the threshold, the method notifies a load balancer that balances new requests for connection to the distributed application between the end machines. The notification causes the load balancer not to send any new connection request to the end machine and redirect them to other end machines.
