I have apache proxy web server ahead of 6 weblogic instances which are part of a single cluster.
For a client that hits my application the Apache's access logs shows the below loggin
/Replica/AddServlet;jsessionid=PvqTQtYfKLrzBHtT1dpcJX5WhryRgpTGBvMJ8pLbpJnSDR5p0K65!1647512983!-1661904304!1357731903334 HTTP/1.1" 200 284
How can I determine which out the six is the primary and which is the secondary weblogic server for this client request ?
You have to switch on the Apache DEBUG log, which notes the individual server HASH and maps it to the Managed server.
Turn on proxy debug by setting Debug=”ALL”
in the proxy configuration file.
Example configuration for Apache plug-in (httpd.conf):
<Location /mywebapp>
SetHandlerweblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster sol1:8001,sol2:8001,sol3:8003
Debug ALL
DebugConfigInfo ON
WLLogFile /tmp/wlproxy.log
</Location>
You can then see the exact host:port for your primary and secondary for the request.

Remember each time you restart the weblogic servers, new HASHes are used.
