Table: cloudflare_load_balancer_pool - Query Cloudflare Load Balancer Pools using SQL

Cloudflare Load Balancer Pools are a component of Cloudflare's Load Balancing service. They consist of one or more origin servers where Cloudflare can direct traffic. These pools provide a way to distribute network or application traffic across many servers to optimize resource usage, reduce latency, and increase capacity to handle large amounts of traffic.

Table Usage Guide

The cloudflare_load_balancer_pool table provides insights into Load Balancer Pools within Cloudflare's Load Balancing service. As a network administrator, explore pool-specific details through this table, including pool ID, creation date, description, and enabled status. Utilize it to uncover information about pools, such as their geographical distribution, the health of the servers within them, and the balance of traffic across the servers.

Examples

Basic info

select
  name,
  id,
  enabled,
  description,
  created_on,
  jsonb_pretty(origins) as origins
from
  cloudflare_load_balancer_pool;

select

longitude	text	The longitude this pool is physically located at; used for proximity steering. Values should be between -180 and 180.
minimum_origins	bigint	The minimum number of origins that must be healthy for this pool to serve traffic. If the number of healthy origins falls below this number, the pool will be marked unhealthy and we will failover to the next available pool. Default: 1.
modified_on	timestamp with time zone	Timestamp when the pool was last modified.

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- cloudflare

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_cloudflare --config '<your_config>' cloudflare_load_balancer_pool
