Log10 Loadshare — Top-Rated

# Extract RPS per backend from HAProxy logs (simplified) awk 'print $NF' /var/log/haproxy.log | sort | uniq -c | \ awk 'print "log10_loadshare=" log($1+1)/log(10) " raw=" $1' Raw loadshare tells you how much traffic a node handles, but not how well it handles it. A powerful composite metric is the Log-Load Latency Ratio (L3R) :

# Instantaneous loadshare per instance log10( sum by (instance) ( rate(http_requests_total[1m]) ) + 1 ) For a (threshold: any instance exceeds 3x the median): log10 loadshare

In distributed systems, loadshare represents the proportionate amount of traffic, computational work, or connection handles assigned to a specific node (server, container, or thread) relative to the total system capacity or total incoming requests. | Context | Definition of Loadshare | | :--- | :--- | | Load Balancer | The number of active connections or requests per second (RPS) routed to a single backend server. | | Message Queue | The number of unacknowledged messages a specific consumer is processing. | | Database Shard | The query throughput or data volume stored on a specific shard replica. | | CDN Edge Node | The bandwidth or request count handled by a particular Point of Presence (PoP). | # Extract RPS per backend from HAProxy logs
