1. Right-click the Content Switching Module (CSM) and then select Monitor > Real Server. The Real Server Details dialog box appears.

2. With a real server selected, click Monitor.

3. Select Connection Statistics.

The following information is displayed:

> Current Connections (slbRealNumberOfConnections)

> Operating Weight (slbRealOperWeight)

> Metric Value (slbRealMetric)

> Total Fails (slbRealTotalFails)

> Total Connections (slbRealTotalConnections)

##

### Current Connections (slbRealNumberOfConnections)

Number of TCP and UDP connections currently assigned to this real server.

### Operating Weight (slbRealOperWeight)

Actual operating weight of this real server used by load-balancing algorithms. This value can be adjusted dynamically via DFP.

Note the following:

> A weight of zero indicates that no new connections will be assigned to this real server.

> Higher weight values indicate to the load-balancing algorithms a higher availability of this real server to accept more work.

### Metric Value (slbRealMetric)

Value used by the least connections load-balancing algorithm. It is the number of connections divided by the actual operating weight.

Note: New connections will be given to the server with the smaller metric.

### Total Fails (slbRealTotalFails)

Total number of times this real server has failed since the creation of this row.

### Total Connections (slbRealTotalConnections)

Number of assigned connections handled by this real server since it was configured.
