How to configure Tomcat instance fail over setup with Apache load balancer?

63 views Asked by At

How can I configure the Tomcat instance fail over with Apache load balancer?

Currently, as per my setup, there are 3 Tomcat instances handling requests but if in case, any instance fails then also load balancer keeps sending requests to it and those requests are getting failed.

I need help in configuring the load balancer in such a way that it gets the status as failed and forward requests to an another available instance. Also, when instance gets ready then again it starts forwarding requests to it.
