Load Balancer not working

[user1633]

Hi folks,

I have a load balancer that is not working, I’m trying to achieve failover from primary to secondary server.

Both pools are showing “healthy”, but when I powered down the primary to test failover it did not change the A record… the site remained down for 15 minutes until I powered the primary serer back up.

I did receive the email notifications saying the Pool was Up (and down), but the A record did not change.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

the A record did not change.

A record should shows Cloudflare IP address all the time since you proxied the subdomain.

How do you configure the load balancing monitor?

Hi @user1633,
Did you check the Cloudflare Load Balancing docs?

This should help you to configure your fallback pool.
