Methods for analyzing and load balancing based on server health and devices thereof

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for analyzing server health comprising executable code that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to:

• monitor network traffic exchanged with a plurality of servers to obtain signal data regarding a plurality of signals associated with the network traffic;
• apply a server health prediction model to the signal data to generate a server health score for each of the servers, the server health prediction model comprising a plurality of predictive health targets each based at least in part on historical signal data and having an associated threshold value, the historical signal data obtained based on an analysis of monitored network traffic exchanged between one or more of a plurality of clients and one or more of the servers;
• and
• update a stored load balancing policy based on the generated server health score for each of the servers to modify a distribution across the servers of network traffic received from the clients.

A health analysis apparatus, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to:

• monitor network traffic exchanged with a plurality of servers to obtain signal data regarding a plurality of signals associated with the network traffic;
• apply a server health prediction model to the signal data to generate a server health score for each of the servers, the server health prediction model comprising a plurality of predictive health targets each based at least in part on historical signal data and having an associated threshold value, the historical signal data obtained based on an analysis of monitored network traffic exchanged between one or more of a plurality of clients and one or more of the servers;
• and
• update a stored load balancing policy based on the generated server health score for each of the servers to modify a distribution across the servers of network traffic received from the clients.

A network traffic management system, comprising one or more health analysis apparatuses, a plurality of client devices, and a plurality of server devices, the network traffic management system comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to:

• monitor network traffic exchanged with the server devices to obtain signal data regarding a plurality of signals associated with the network traffic;
• apply a server health prediction model to the signal data to generate a server health score for each of the server devices, the server health prediction model comprising a plurality of predictive health targets each based at least in part on historical signal data and having an associated threshold value, the historical signal data obtained based on an analysis of monitored network traffic exchanged between one or more of the client devices and one or more of the server devices;
• and
• update a stored load balancing policy based on the generated server health score for each of the server devices to modify a distribution across the server devices of network traffic received from the client devices.
