## Creating an HTTP Load Balancer Configuration

Create a load balancer configuration using the `asadmin` command `create-http-lb-config`. Creating an HTTP Load Balancer Configuration describes the parameters. For more information see the documentation for `create-http-lb-config`, `delete-http-lb-config`, and `list-http-lb-configs`.

Table 4–1 Load Balancer Configuration Parameters

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
response timeout | Time in seconds within which a server instance must return a response. If no response is received within the time period, the server is considered unhealthy. The default is 60.
HTTPS routing | Whether HTTPS requests to the load balancer result in HTTPS or HTTP requests to the server instance. For more information, see Configuring HTTPS Routing.
reload interval | Interval between checks for changes to the load balancer configuration file `loadbalancer.xml`. When the check detects changes, the configuration file is reloaded. A value of 0 disables reloading.For more information, see Enabling Dynamic Reconfiguration
monitor | Whether monitoring is enabled for the load balancer.
routecookie | Name of the cookie the load balancer plug-in uses to record the route information. The HTTP client must support cookies. If your browser is set to ask before storing a cookie, the name of the cookie is JROUTE.
target | Target for the load balancer configuration. If you specify a target, it is the same as adding a reference to it. Targets can be clusters or stand-alone instances.
