For most Cloudflare customers the only time we know that intermittent 521, 522 or 525 like errors occur is when we either experience them ourselves or our sites’ visitors/members report them to us.
I’d like to see in the dashboard area a timestamped event type log of past historic 521/522/525 error log occurrences and the url/hostname it occurred on. Maybe include in the log entry the RayID and visitor IP too for troubleshooting purposes.
This will help Cloudflare users in having a better insight into the health of their Cloudflare proxied site over time.
It is a very bad feeling to be informed by your visitors that they are getting Cloudflare errors, yet there is nothing you can do to investigate it or even confirm the problem. I realize that revealing this data might make some users realize how often Cloudflare services fail (I’m not saying that is something that happens often, but it does happen), but the transparency and peace of mind would make me feel a lot more comfortable using Cloudflare.
I fully support this request.
Otherwise we are blind when it comes to 521 errors. I think it’s in Cloudflare’s interest as well to have such a report of error, otherwise the end-user does not care where the error comes from and it might perceive it as also being the cause of Cloudflare.
Without this report I can’t go back to the hoster and ask for details, I need the ray id and the timestamp. Otherwise they will tell me they have nothing to investigate…
I recall having seen such a report in the past, maybe 6 months ago or even maybe more than one year, I have searched for it but couldn’t find it. I am 80% sure I’ve seen such a report on Cloudflare, thus I could be wrong… but this is what I recall.
