Load balancer fields and probes
Discovery stores load balancer information in several tables.
The information in this topic pertains to discovery with probes and sensors only. If you are using patterns, such as to discover F5 Big-IP load balancers, see the relevant topic for that type of load balancer.
Note: By default, the system uses the discovered IP address of a load balancer for the CI record. This can be the management IP created for the device that is used in the Discovery schedule. For instructions on how to force Discovery to use the IP address of the load balancer's NIC rather than that of a management IP, see IP address selection properties.

Apache web server data
Discovery also collects data on Apache web serer load balancing modules using SSH. See Apache mod_jk and mod_proxy discovery for more information on probes for Apache web server data. For information on the tables, fields, and data sources that discovery populates for Apache web servers, see Apache web server discovery.
