For an individual load balancer, additional details such as process information, service status, statistical data, etc. are available.

"Load Balancer" Node in the IGEL UMS
The Load Balancer node is visible in the UMS structure tree and active only if you have installed a UMS High Availability network with UMS Load Balancer activated. See IGEL UMS High Availability (HA).
The Load Balancer node lists all load balancers belonging to the UMS installation:
Normal Mode means that the load balancer is running with the normal "run configuration". Note that it does not serve as an indicator of the overall proper functioning of load balancers. If you want to check your HA environment, see UMS HA Health Check - Analyse Your IGEL UMS High Availability and Distributed UMS Systems.
