[Skip to content](#%5Ftop) # Analytics Using load balancing analytics, you can: * Evaluate traffic flow. * Assess the health status of endpoints in your pools. * Review changes in pools and pool health over time. Note Load balancing analytics are only available to customers on paid plans (Pro, Business, and Enterprise). ## Dashboard Analytics ### Overview metrics To view **Overview** metrics for your load balancer, go to **Traffic** \> **Load Balancing Analytics**. These metrics show the number of requests routed to specific pools within a load balancer, helping you: * Evaluate the effects of adding or removing a pool. * Decide when to create new pools. * Plan for peak traffic demands and future infrastructure needs. Add additional filters for specific pools, times, regions, and endpoints. Note Load balancing **requests** are the number of uncached requests made by your load balancer. By default, Cloudflare caches resolved IP addresses for up to five seconds. ### Latency **Latency** metrics show an interactive map, helping you identify regions with **Unhealthy** or **Slow** pools. To view latency information for your load balancer, go to **Traffic** \> **Load Balancing Analytics** \> **Latency**. ### Logs **Logs** provide a history of all endpoint status changes and how they affect your load balancing pools. Load Balancing only logs events that represent a status change for an endpoint, from healthy to unhealthy or vice versa. When a Monitor Group is attached to a pool, each logged health event includes the `monitors` field. This field lists the individual monitors within the group and their results, making it easier to see which monitor contributed to a status change. Example event (truncated): ``` { "id": , "timestamp": "2025-09-22 19:22:00", "pool": { "id": "", "name": "example-monitor-group-test-pool-us", "healthy": true, "changed": false, "minimum_origins": 1 }, "origins": [ { "name": "origin-a", "ip": "192.0.2.10", "enabled": true, "healthy": true, "failure_reason": "No failures", "response_code": 200, "monitors": [ { "id": "", "healthy": true, "failure_reason": "No failures", "response_code": 200, "must_be_healthy": true, "monitoring_only": false }, { "id": "", "healthy": true, "failure_reason": "No failures", "response_code": 200, "must_be_healthy": true, "monitoring_only": false }, { "id": "", "healthy": false, "failure_reason": "HTTP timeout occurred", "must_be_healthy": false, "monitoring_only": true } ] }, { "name": "origin-b", "ip": "198.51.100.25", "enabled": true, "healthy": false, "failure_reason": "TCP connection failed", "changed": true, "monitors": [ { "id": "", "healthy": false, "failure_reason": "TCP connection failed", "must_be_healthy": true, "monitoring_only": false }, { "id": "", "healthy": true, "failure_reason": "No failures", "response_code": 200, "must_be_healthy": true, "monitoring_only": false }, { "id": "", "healthy": false, "failure_reason": "HTTP timeout occurred", "must_be_healthy": false, "monitoring_only": true } ] } ]} ``` In this example: * Each origin includes a `monitors` array listing all monitors within the attached group. * Fields such as `must_be_healthy` `and monitoring_only` indicate each monitor's role in determining the origin's overall health. * The `healthy` and `failure_reason` fields show which individual monitor checks succeeded or failed. To access logs in the dashboard, go to **Traffic** \> **Load Balancing Analytics**. ## GraphQL Analytics For more flexibility, get load balancing metrics directly from the [GraphQL Analytics API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/). Get started with a sample query: Requests per pool This query shows the number of requests each pool receives from each location in Cloudflare's global network. Query ``` query RequestsPerPool($zoneTag: string, $start: Time, $end: Time) { viewer { zones(filter: { zoneTag: $zoneTag }) { loadBalancingRequestsAdaptiveGroups( limit: 100 filter: { datetime_geq: $start datetime_leq: $end lbName: "lb.example.com" } orderBy: [datetimeFifteenMinutes_DESC] ) { count dimensions { datetimeFifteenMinutes coloCode selectedPoolName } } } }} ``` [Run in GraphQL API Explorer](https://graphql.cloudflare.com/explorer?query=I4VwpgTgngBASmUYDOAXZAFSGD2OA2AFACQBeOAdmACoCGA5gFwxoQCWF9ANDMWrRFTNqbALZgexMBQAmwsWACUMAN4AoGDABubMAHdIqjZpjkqyQgDM2+VJGYrTlGg2ZlndejAC+y9SZN8HFoZACFafFoKAGMOegQkNGQAQRlaAAdUNi0wAHEIHBB0i2MAzXwxNiEYAEYABjrSsutbeyMysrS7LPEAfXpEN35BJo6usB6wXvxB3mkZUbL8ACMAOVpxZgAiFYA6MAAPDfSZ3eicUS3FzW9rmBwIGUhQqGYAbXHJgDE2SztpACyHBAdmQvQAIgBRADKAGEALqLPx3c4gCioO4yBQUZBsSjIdodEyfBQ-P5gQHA0F3TTnIKwnBPGksMAzaJ2GS4AjrcR3W4dfkmQW3bxAA&variables=N4IgXg9gdgpgKgQwOYgFwgFoHkByBRAfQEkAREAGhAGcAXBAJxrRACYAGFgNgFo2eBmNnACMLVAFYxkjBRAwoAE2bsuvAUOEAOCVJYyAvkA) Response (truncated) ``` { "data": { "viewer": { "zones": [ { "loadBalancingRequestsAdaptiveGroups": [ { "count": 4, "dimensions": { "coloCode": "IAD", "datetimeFifteenMinutes": "2021-06-26T00:45:00Z", "selectedPoolName": "us-east" } }, ... ] } ] } }} ``` Requests per data center This query shows the weighted, round-trip time (RTT) measurement (`avgRttMs`) for monitor requests from a specific data center (for example, Singapore or `SIN`) to each pool in a specific load balancer. Warning Note that `avgRttMs` refers to the round-trip time that is measured by the monitors and used in steering decisions. `avgRttMs` is different from the raw RTT for individual requests that reach the Cloudflare network. Query ``` query RequestsPerDataCenter($zoneTag: string, $start: Time, $end: Time) { viewer { zones(filter: { zoneTag: $zoneTag }) { loadBalancingRequestsAdaptive( limit: 100 filter: { datetime_geq: $start datetime_leq: $end lbName: "lb.example.com" coloCode: "SIN" } orderBy: [datetime_DESC] ) { selectedPoolName pools { poolName healthy healthCheckEnabled avgRttMs } } } }} ``` [Run in GraphQL API Explorer](https://graphql.cloudflare.com/explorer?query=I4VwpgTgngBASmUYDOAXZAFSARAhq3AYTADtVIAKAEgC8B7EsAFVwHMAuGNCASxNYA0MKmlwRUnJjwC2YIVVIATSTLABKGAG8AUDBgA3HmADukLbr0x6jZBQBmPADbkInTVYbM2nWp5asYAF8NHUtLRzpcRQAhXEdcEgBjPlYEJDRkAEFFXAAHVB59MAoLML1HGR4JGABGAAY60rKHZ0g3JrKYHPIC2QB9VkQfUXEOsu6wXrA+xyHhJTGwxwAjADlcWU4AIhWAOjAADw3c2d3EumktxctziMI6RTBtgGUASVWrzr1A67oIR4g0SgnAA2hMpn1sABRZ6EAC6YxC12QYFmiXIigwdDojnWsmuuWxjmQ5i+lkJOLxYGuegAFmA4qhaVAaTB6YzaYR6YkANZQki4ZazRSs3D6VKoVAAWWQ1x+nXllkVP0CQA&variables=N4IgXg9gdgpgKgQwOYgFwgFoHkByBRAfQEkAREAGhAGcAXBAJxrRACYAGFgNgFo2eBmNnACMLVAFYxkjBRAwoAE2bsuvAUOEAOCVJYyAvkA) Response (truncated) ``` { "data": { "viewer": { "zones": [ { "loadBalancingRequestsAdaptive": [ { "pools": [ { "avgRttMs": 67, "healthCheckEnabled": 1, "healthy": 1, "poolName": "asia-ne" }, { "avgRttMs": 156, "healthCheckEnabled": 1, "healthy": 1, "poolName": "us-east_and_asia-ne" }, { "avgRttMs": 237, "healthCheckEnabled": 1, "healthy": 1, "poolName": "us-east" }, ], "selectedPoolName": "asia-ne" }, ... ] } ] } }} ``` ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","@id":"https://developers.cloudflare.com/load-balancing/reference/load-balancing-analytics/#page","headline":"Load balancing analytics ยท Cloudflare Load Balancing docs","description":"Use load balancing analytics to evaluate traffic flow, assess the health of endpoints, and review health changes over time.","url":"https://developers.cloudflare.com/load-balancing/reference/load-balancing-analytics/","inLanguage":"en","image":"https://developers.cloudflare.com/core-services-preview.png","dateModified":"2026-04-17","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Cloudflare","url":"https://www.cloudflare.com/"},"isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://developers.cloudflare.com/#website","name":"Cloudflare Docs","url":"https://developers.cloudflare.com/"},"keywords":["Analytics","GraphQL"]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/directory/","name":"Directory"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/load-balancing/","name":"Load Balancing"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"/load-balancing/reference/","name":"Reference"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@id":"/load-balancing/reference/load-balancing-analytics/","name":"Analytics"}}]} ```
