Changelog

Log Explorer datasets are now queried from the Logs page under Observability in the Cloudflare dashboard. The Logs page brings Log Explorer and Workers Observability datasets together with a shared filter builder, SQL editor, and visualizations.

As part of this change, the Log Explorer menu is no longer shown in the dashboard navigation.

• Your enabled datasets, saved queries, and SQL queries continue to work on the Logs page.
• To manage datasets, open the dataset selector on the Logs page and select Configure next to the Log Explorer datasets.
• The previous Log Search page remains available at its direct URL.

For more information, refer to Log Search and the Logs overview.

Cloudflare Organizations is now generally available for Enterprise customers and MSSP/Distributor partners.

Organizations provides a top-level container for centrally managing accounts, members, analytics, and shared policies. Organization Super Administrators receive implicit access to every account in their Organization without requiring separate account memberships.

Enterprise customers can manage accounts in a single-tier Organization. MSSP/Distributor partners can use nested sub-organizations to manage customer accounts.

Organization Roles remains in beta, and current product limitations still apply.

For more information, refer to Cloudflare Organizations and current limitations.

Every plan now gets at least 30 days of analytics data. Adaptive analytics datasets, such as HTTP requests, security events, and DNS analytics, retain at least 31 days of data for Free and Pro domains, and you can query up to 30 days in a single request. Previously, Free and Pro domains could see between 24 hours and 8 days of history depending on the dataset.

A full month of history lets you investigate an issue after it happens, compare today with the same day in previous weeks, and tell a one-time spike from a longer trend. The change applies in the Cloudflare dashboard, in Custom Dashboards, and through the GraphQL Analytics API.

Domain analytics also now live in one place. In the Cloudflare dashboard, select a domain and go to Analytics to see Traffic, Performance, Security, Cache, Origin, DNS, and Visitors as tabs that share one time range and one set of filters. Account-level analytics are under Observability > Analytics.

This change does not alter which datasets or fields your plan can access. Aggregated datasets, such as httpRequests1hGroups, keep their existing per-plan limits. To check the exact retention and query window for a zone or account, query the settings for each dataset.

For plan-specific limits, refer to Security Analytics, Security Events, and GraphQL Analytics API limits.

You can now build Custom Dashboards charts from Workers Observability data. Two new datasets, Workers Observability — Logs and Workers Observability — Traces (OTel), let you chart Worker invocations, log levels, errors, CPU and wall time, span counts, and durations next to HTTP traffic, security events, and other analytics datasets.

This gives you one dashboard for an application that spans Cloudflare's network and your Workers. For example, you can put request volume, WAF blocks, and Worker error rates on the same view, filter all three by time range, and spot whether a spike in errors lines up with a change in traffic.

The datasets are available for every Worker in your account that has Workers Logs or Workers Traces turned on. Custom Dashboards also now allow up to 100 dashboards for every account.

To get started, refer to Workers Observability data in Custom Dashboards.

Cloudflare Organizations now support up to 20,000 accounts and 200,000 zones. For MSSP/Distributors using sub-organizations, these limits are applied at the root Organization.

If you require a higher limit, reach out to your account team. The new limits apply to enterprise and MSSP/Distributor Organizations. Legacy reseller partner and brand partner tenants retain their existing quota behavior.

For more information, refer to Account and zone limits.

hash_in_range() is globally available for HTTP products on all plans. It hashes fields into an integer within a specified range. Use this result to select a portion of requests.

Use cf.random_seed to select approximately 10% of requests at random:

hash_in_range(0, 100, cf.random_seed) < 10

With Cloudflare for SaaS, use custom metadata to control rollout progression. Define rollout_pct as a custom key for each hostname. Set its value to an integer from 0 to 100. The expression selects approximately that percentage of requests:

hash_in_range(0, 100, cf.random_seed) < coalesce(lookup_json_integer(cf.hostname.metadata, "rollout_pct"), 0)

If rollout_pct is missing, coalesce() supplies 0. The rule then matches no requests.

For details, refer to the hash_in_range() function reference.

You can now restrict who can access a Quick Tunnel. Use the new --allowed-mail flag in cloudflared to require visitors to authenticate with a one-time PIN sent to their email before they reach your local service.

cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8080 --allowed-mail alice@example.com

Previously, anyone with a trycloudflare.com URL could access the service behind it. Protected Quick Tunnels let you share a local development server, webhook receiver, or demo with specific people without creating a Cloudflare account or configuring a domain.

You can allow:

• A single email address: --allowed-mail alice@example.com
• Multiple email addresses, by repeating the flag or using a comma-separated list: --allowed-mail 'alice@example.com,bob@example.com'
• Every address on a domain: --allowed-mail '*@example.com'

Visitors do not need a Cloudflare account. Access ends for everyone when you stop the cloudflared process.

To get started, update cloudflared to the latest version and refer to Restrict access by email.

Account API token creation is no longer limited to Super Administrators. Members with the API Token Provisioning role can now create Account API tokens via the Dashboard, API, Terraform, or CF CLI, making it easier for developers and platform teams to provision credentials without depending on a Super Administrator for Account API Token Provisioning.

• Delegated creation: Members with the API Token Provisioning role can create Account API tokens from the dashboard. Administrators can grant this role through the dashboard, API, or Terraform.
• OAuth support for token creation: OAuth clients that request the account_api_tokens:create scope, starting with Cloudflare CLI, can create Account API tokens.
• Account API token permissions limited to the creator’s access at creation time: Members can only create an Account API Token using the permissions they already have. For OAuth-created tokens, permissions are also limited to the scopes granted during authorization.
• Creator attribution and visibility: Account API tokens now include creator metadata. Super Administrators and Administrators can view all Account API tokens in an account, while members with the API Token Provisioning role can only view tokens they created.

For more information, refer to Account API tokens, Create tokens via API, and Roles.

The coalesce() function returns the first argument that is not nil. Use it to provide a fallback in rule expressions:

http.request.uri.path eq coalesce(http.request.uri.args["expected_path"][0], "/")

For details, refer to the coalesce() function reference.

Cloudflare Rules expressions now support dynamic values on both sides of equality and ordering comparisons. You can compare request fields or function results with one another.

For example, compare the current request path with its original value:

http.request.uri.path ne raw.http.request.uri.path

For supported operators and examples, refer to Compare dynamic values.

Cloudflare Logpush is now available on Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans with usage-based pricing. Free, Pro, and Business customers can enable Logpush through self-service. Enterprise customers continue to work with their account team. Logpush Transformers are also now generally available.

Each account receives included monthly usage before charges apply:

• Internal exports: 25 GB per month, then $0.03 per additional GB.
• External exports: 25 GB per month, then $0.10 per additional GB.
• Transformations: 1 GB per month, then $0.04 per additional GB.

R2 and Pipelines use the internal destination rate. All other destinations use the external destination rate.

Existing Enterprise contracts retain their current Logpush pricing through renewal. Workers Logpush for Workers Trace Events retains request-based pricing, and OpenTelemetry destinations retain event-based Workers Observability pricing.

For complete rates, measurement details, and billing examples, refer to Logpush pricing.

Transformers are now generally available for supported Logpush datasets on Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans. Use SQL to filter records, reshape fields, redact sensitive values, compute new fields, or add metadata before Logpush delivers each batch.

Create and preview Transformers in Transformer Studio or through the Cloudflare API, then attach them to eligible account-scoped or zone-scoped Logpush jobs that use NDJSON output. Cloudflare validates each query against the dataset schema before saving it.

Each account includes 1 GB of transformation input per month. Additional input costs $0.04 per GB. For setup instructions, supported SQL, limits, and examples, refer to Transformers. For billing details, refer to Logpush pricing.

Monetization Gateway is now available in closed beta. Sellers can use it to charge agents for access to APIs, Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, sites, and datasets.

Sellers (domain owners) define which requests require payment, the cost, and where the payment should be sent. Buyers receive the payment instructions, sign an authorization, and receive the resource after the payment has been settled. The Monetization Gateway uses the x402 protocol to handle payment authorization within the HTTP request flow.

To learn more, request access in the Cloudflare dashboard ↗︎, review the Monetization Gateway documentation, or read the blog ↗︎.

You can now tell a person on a laptop apart from a Mesh node or an AI agent running on Workers, without matching on connector email addresses or Mesh IP ranges — and see exactly which Cloudflare Tunnel and cloudflared replica received each session.

Gateway network logs and Zero Trust Network Session Logs now identify two new kinds of traffic:

• Mesh — Traffic sent from or delivered to a Cloudflare Mesh node. Previously, Mesh nodes were logged the same way as devices running the Cloudflare One Client, because Mesh nodes run the client in headless mode.
• Workers VPC — Traffic sent by a Worker through a Workers VPC binding. Previously, Workers VPC sessions were not recorded in Network Session Logs.

To view these values in the dashboard, go to Zero Trust > Insights & Logs > Logs > Network logs, select Columns, and turn on Traffic Source and Traffic Destination. Both values also appear under Network query details when you open a log entry.

The zero_trust_network_sessions dataset, available through Logpush, includes the following fields:

For example, OnrampType = 'WORKERS_VPC' AND Offramp = 'MESH' returns every session where a Worker reached a service behind a Mesh node, and SourceName tells you which Worker it was.

With DestinationReplicaID, you can now confirm which Cloudflare Tunnel and which cloudflared replica received traffic for a specific session. Combine it with the existing DestinationTunnelID field to trace a session to an exact tunnel replica — or Mesh node replica — when you run multiple replicas for high availability. The replica ID matches the Connector ID shown in the dashboard, so you can stream that replica's logs with cloudflared tail --connector-id.

Sessions logged before this change are not backfilled. For all available fields, refer to Zero Trust Network Session Logs.

The concat() function in Cloudflare Rules now accepts up to 32 arguments, increased from 16. This allows you to build richer dynamic values directly in Rules expressions and simplify configurations that combine request data.

A common use case is adding a request header that sends context to your origin. The following Rulesets API request adds a Request Header Transform Rule to an existing http_request_late_transform phase ruleset. Its 18-argument expression combines request and network information into one header value:

curl --request POST \
  "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/rulesets/$RULESET_ID/rules" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "ref": "add_request_context_header",
    "description": "Add request context for the origin",
    "expression": "true",
    "action": "rewrite",
    "action_parameters": {
      "headers": {
        "X-Request-Context": {
          "operation": "set",
          "expression": "concat(\"ip=\", to_string(ip.src), \";country=\", ip.src.country, \";host=\", http.host, \";method=\", http.request.method, \";path=\", http.request.uri.path, \";query=\", http.request.uri.query, \";ray-id=\", cf.ray_id, \";asn=\", to_string(ip.src.asnum), \";user-agent=\", http.user_agent)"
        }
      }
    }
  }'

For more information, refer to the concat() function reference and HTTP request header modification.

Logpush jobs can now exclude identified distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack traffic. This option reduces attack traffic in delivered logs.

It supports the http_requests, firewall_events, and network_analytics_logs datasets.

In the dashboard, select Exclude DDoS attack traffic under Advanced Options. With the API, add this field to a job request:

{
	"filter_attack_traffic": true
}

For more information, refer to API configuration.

Starting in 2027, Cloudflare will deprecate 32-bit Windows and Intel-based macOS builds of cloudflared. After the deprecation takes effect, Cloudflare will no longer publish new cloudflared releases for either architecture.

Windows 10, the last Windows release to support 32-bit systems, reached end of support in October 2025. Apple has also deprecated Intel-based Mac computers. macOS 26 Tahoe, released in September 2025, was the final macOS release to support Intel-based Macs. macOS 27, released in September 2026, no longer supports them.

Focusing development on currently supported architectures allows cloudflared to align with operating system support and continue receiving updates on supported platforms. For available downloads and supported platforms, refer to the Cloudflare Tunnel downloads documentation.

We're expanding how customers create accounts across Cloudflare, making it easier to self-serve account creation in the dashboard, automate standalone account creation with user-owned API tokens or OAuth access tokens, and create Free accounts directly within Enterprise Organizations.

Dashboard account creation: All cloudflare customers can create additional Free accounts directly through self-serve flows in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Enterprise Organization account creation: Super Administrators can now create up to five Free accounts directly within an Enterprise Organization. This makes it easier to provision and manage additional accounts and directly associate them with your Organization.

API and OAuth account creation: Customers can now create standalone Free accounts programmatically via User-owned API tokens or OAuth access tokens.

For more information:

• Create a Free account in the dashboard
• Create an account via the API
• Create Free accounts in an Enterprise Organization

Cloudflare Rules now validates ruleset changes before deployment, helping you catch invalid expressions, action parameters, permission issues, unavailable features, and quota limits without publishing the configuration.

The Cloudflare dashboard performs this validation automatically when you create or update rules from Security > Security rules or Rules > Overview.

Supported Rulesets API mutation endpoints now also accept the dry_run=true query parameter. A dry run performs the same authorization and server-side validation checks as the requested change, but does not persist or publish it. Successful operations that normally return a 200 response return result: null. Operations that normally return 204 continue to do so.

Add dry_run=true to a Rulesets API request to validate it without creating the ruleset:

curl --request POST \
  "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/rulesets?dry_run=true" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "name": "Custom firewall rules",
    "kind": "zone",
    "phase": "http_request_firewall_custom",
    "rules": [
      {
        "action": "block",
        "expression": "ip.src.country eq \"GB\"",
        "description": "Block requests from the United Kingdom",
        "enabled": true
      }
    ]
  }'

For more information, refer to Validate rule changes before deployment.

Enterprise customers can now configure a zone's CDN Maximum Upload Size up to 5 GB directly from the Network page in the Cloudflare dashboard. This removes the need to contact your account team or Cloudflare Support when applications need to accept request bodies larger than 500 MB and no greater than 5 GB.

The default maximum upload size remains 500 MB. Upload limits above 5 GB still require additional configuration through your account team or Cloudflare Support.

Very large uploads may reach connection or read timeouts before reaching the configured size limit. Make sure clients and origins allow enough time to complete the transfer when increasing this setting.

Refer to Cache upload limits and Workers request body size limits for details.

You can now create multiple Cloudflare Tunnel and Cloudflare Mesh routes from the Routes page in a single action, instead of submitting one route at a time.

When creating a route, you can now:

• Add multiple destinations at once — Enter a comma-separated list of CIDR ranges or hostnames to create several routes of the same type and connector together.
• Queue up multiple routes — Select Add another to stage additional routes, including different types or connectors, before creating them all in one action.
• Retry only what failed — If some routes in a batch fail (for example, an invalid CIDR), the routes that were created successfully are removed from the form automatically, so you only need to fix and resubmit the ones that failed.

The same Routes UI already supports bulk creation for Cloudflare WAN static routes, so you can add multiple WAN destinations or queue up several WAN routes before creating them together as well.

For setup steps, refer to Add routes.

Log Explorer has a refreshed dataset configuration experience in the Cloudflare dashboard. The new controls make it easier to choose which fields and events Log Explorer ingests.

• Grouped field selection organizes fields by category and shows the number selected in each group.
• Field details identify each field's data type and mark required or deprecated fields.
• Bulk controls let you select all fields or reset the selection to the dataset defaults.
• Ingestion filters let you ingest all events or only events that match your conditions.

These controls are available when you add a dataset or select Actions > Edit for an enabled dataset.

For more information, refer to Configure fields and filters.

Cloudflare Log Explorer customers can now permanently delete account and zone datasets from the Cloudflare dashboard or API.

Deletion protection is enabled by default to prevent accidental data loss. In the dashboard, go to Manage datasets, disable deletion protection for the dataset, select Delete, and enter the dataset name to confirm.

To delete a dataset through the API, first set deletion_protection to false with the Update an account or zone dataset method. Then use the Delete an account or zone dataset method.

Dataset deletion is irreversible and runs asynchronously. You cannot recreate the same dataset while deletion is in progress.

Cloudflare Enterprise customers using the Azure Functions-based Microsoft Sentinel connector ↗︎ must migrate to the Cloudflare for Microsoft Sentinel Codeless Connector Framework (CCF) connector ↗︎ by 2026-09-14.

Microsoft is deprecating the Azure Monitor HTTP Data Collector API. Support for the API ends on 2026-09-14. As a result, Cloudflare will no longer maintain the Azure Functions-based connector after that date.

To migrate, follow the Microsoft Sentinel integration setup guide.

• Download Cloudflare's CCF Sentinel Solution ↗︎
• Microsoft Sentinel data lake overview ↗︎
• About the CCF platform ↗︎

For more information, refer to Microsoft's Azure Monitor HTTP Data Collector API deprecation notice ↗︎.

Cloudflare API 403 Forbidden responses now include a documentation_url field that links directly to the API documentation for the endpoint that was denied. This gives developers, administrators, and agents an immediate path to the relevant docs with role information instead of guessing at which role or permission they are missing for that endpoint.

What's New

Enriched 403 error responses: When a Cloudflare API request is denied, the error response now includes a documentation_url field that points to the documentation for that specific endpoint. Contextual 403 responses are now available across nearly all Cloudflare product APIs.

Faster troubleshooting: The linked API docs surface the roles required for each endpoint, making it easier to self-serve access issues.

Better support for tools and agents: Agents can use the \documentation_url` field to immediately fetch the endpoint's documentation from the 403 error response, identify the accepted permissions for the denied action, and use that context to drive third-party approval workflows.`

Example 403 response:

{
  "success": false,
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": 10000,
      "message": "Forbidden",
      "documentation_url": "https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/workers/subresources/beta/subresources/workers/methods/list"
    }
  ],
  "messages": [],
  "result": null
}
