How to see distribution of requests by colocation server?

Website, Application, Performance Getting Started

Can you see that data on dashboard?
If not, can it be added as an header in the request?

Thanks for your help!

Best you can do (on non-enterprise) is to look at the Geography sectio in the Analytics tab

Note that this is just based on country, and won’t show you the specific collocations used.

You can configure your origin web server to log Cloudflare cf-ray id and cf country headers and parse you logs. This is what I do with my nginx based origin servers https://community.centminmod.com/threads/Cloudflare-custom-nginx-logging.14790/

To further @eva2000’s point the ray ID contains the colo ID after the dash in the value.

Yup very handy https://community.centminmod.com/threads/Cloudflare-custom-nginx-logging.14790/#post-66843

for top 20 IATA airport code based CF Datacenter connections to my origin

pzcat -f cf-access.log{,-*} | awk '{print $NF}' | awk -F '-' '{print $2}' |  sed -e 's|\"||g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | awk '{print $1, $2, "https://google.com/search?q=iata+code:+"$2}' | head -n20

top TLS protocol/ciphers communicated over for CF to origin connections

pzcat -f cfssl-access.log{,-*} | grep -v 'SERVER_IP' | awk '{n = 2; for (--n; n >= 0; n--){ printf "%s\t",$(NF-n)} print ""}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n20 | column -t
753574  TLSv1.2  ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
107     TLSv1.2  ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
81      -        -
19      TLSv1.2  ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305
7       TLSv1    ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA

eventually we shall see TLS 1.3 in that mix for CF to origin communication Cloudflare speak TLS 1.3 0-RTT with Origin Backend? :slight_smile:
