Update Load Balancer
Update a configured load balancer.
Security
API Token
The preferred authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. Create a token.
API Email + API Key
The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key.
The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys.
Accepted Permissions (at least one required)
Parameters
A list of pool IDs ordered by their failover priority. Pools defined here are used by default, or when region_pools are not configured for a given region.
The DNS hostname to associate with your Load Balancer. If this hostname already exists as a DNS record in Cloudflare's DNS, the Load Balancer will take precedence and the DNS record will not be used.
A mapping of country codes to a list of pool IDs (ordered by their failover priority) for the given country. Any country not explicitly defined will fall back to using the corresponding region_pool mapping if it exists else to default_pools.
Enterprise only: A mapping of Cloudflare PoP identifiers to a list of pool IDs (ordered by their failover priority) for the PoP (datacenter). Any PoPs not explicitly defined will fall back to using the corresponding country_pool, then region_pool mapping if it exists else to default_pools.
A mapping of region codes to a list of pool IDs (ordered by their failover priority) for the given region. Any regions not explicitly defined will fall back to using default_pools.
Time, in seconds, until a client's session expires after being created. Once the expiry time has been reached, subsequent requests may get sent to a different origin server. The accepted ranges per session_affinity policy are: - "cookie" / "ip_cookie": The current default of 23 hours will be used unless explicitly set. The accepted range of values is between [1800, 604800]. - "header": The current default of 1800 seconds will be used unless explicitly set. The accepted range of values is between [30, 3600]. Note: With session affinity by header, sessions only expire after they haven't been used for the number of seconds specified.
