Listing a Load Balancer's Backend Servers

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. On the Load balancers list page, find the load balancer that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the load balancer, see Listing Load Balancers.
  2. On the load balancer's details page, select Backend sets.
  3. In the Backend sets section, select the backend set that contains the backend server.
  4. On the backend set's details page, select Backends.
  5. Select Backends. The Backends list opens within the Details page.

     The backend servers list contains the following columns:

     • IP address: IP address of a backend server.

     • Port: Port to which the load balancer directs traffic.

     • Weight: Load balancing policy weight assigned to the server. Backend servers with a higher weight receive a larger proportion of incoming traffic. For example, a server weighted "3" receives 3 times the number of new connections as a server weighted "1." For more information, see Load Balancer Policies.

     • Offline: Indicates whether the backend server is offline (True). Offline backend servers receive no incoming traffic.

     • Backup: Indicates whether (True) the load balancer should treat this server as a backup unit. If enabled, the load balancer forwards no ingress traffic to this backend server unless all other backend servers not marked as “backup” fail the health check policy.

     • Drain status: Indicates whether the backend server is drained or not. Backend servers that are drained receive no new incoming traffic.

     • Max connections: Maximum number of simultaneous connections the load balancer can make to the backend server. No value indicates no limit to the number of connections.

     • Health: Displays the health of the backend server: Critical, Warning, Incomplete, Pending, OK.

  The Backends list opens. All backends in the selected backend set are displayed in a table.

• Use the oci lb backend list command and required parameters to list the backend servers in a load balancer's backend set:

  oci lb backend list --backend-set-name backend_set_name --load-balancer-id load_balancer_id [OPTIONS]

  For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

• Run the ListBackends operation to display a list of backend servers for a backend set for a load balancer.
