1. A method for managing load balancers that load balance data messages that source compute nodes (SCNs) send to at least one group of destination compute nodes (DCNs), the load balancers and SCNs executing on host computers, the method comprising:

  • collecting message traffic statistics relating to data message flows that the load balancers on the host computers distribute to the DCNs of the DCN group based on a set of load balancing criteria;

    generating aggregated message traffic statistics from the collected message traffic statistics;

    from the generated aggregated message traffic statistics, computing a set of adjusted load balancing criteria for adjusting distribution of data message flows to the DCNs of the same DCN group; and

    distributing the set of adjusted load balancing criteria to at least a subset of the load balancers for the subset of the load balancers to use to adjust how they distribute new data message flows to the DCNs of the same DCN group.
