Abstract

Methods and apparatus to monitor server loads are disclosed. An example load monitor includes a first virtual machine to replicate a first server; a router interface to cause a router to redirect a portion of requests destined for the first server to the first virtual machine, the first virtual machine to serve the redirected requests; a collector to collect first metric data from the first virtual machine related to processing of the redirected requests; and an overload indicator to indicate an overload condition at the first server based on the first metric data collected from the first virtual machine.
