Sharepoint 2013 + Load Balancing Method

Question

Hello;&nbsp;
We are trying the best Load Balancing Method to our Sharepoint 2013 environment.
The problem that we have is that the environment might be executing heavy load and the F5 "doesn't" know if the server is healthy - even detecting http/200.&nbsp;
ei : we have 6 servers and 2 of the are heavy use and the F5 keeps sending the traffic to the two that are heavy used. Load Balancing Method is configured Least Connection (members)&nbsp;
What other method of monitoring the servers (ei: script measuring CPU performance in server) might help Load Balance the servers?
Please advise&nbsp;

You could try Dynamic Ratio load balancing using the SNMP DCA monitor, this monitors memory, cpu etc...&nbsp;
I've never used it but here's a link " target="_blank"&gt;Dynamic Load Balancing&nbsp;
See if that helps,&nbsp;

Hi, which version of BIG-IP are you running?  If it's newer than v11.4, you can try this iCall script to change load balancing ratio based on the value of the SharePoint health score header:&nbsp;
