Disabling and Re-Enabling Load Balancer Logging

Disable and subsequently re-enable access or error logging for a load balancer.

Using the Console

  1. Open the navigation menu, click Networking, and then click Load balancers. Click Load balancer. The Load balancers page appears.
  2. Select the Compartment from the list. All load balancers in that compartment are listed in tabular form.
  3. Select a State from the list to limit the load balancers displayed to that state.
  4. Select the load balancer for which you want to disable logging. The load balancer's Details page appears.
  5. Click Logs under Resources. The Logs list appears. Entries for access and error logs are listed in tabular form.
  6. Click the Actions menu (Actions Menu) associated with the access or error category and select Disable.
  7. Confirm the disabling when prompted.
  8. To disable the request ID option, click Edit next to Request ID.

    Use the toggle button to disable the request ID. The Request ID helps you track and manage a request by providing a unique request identifier exposed in HTTP request and response headers.

    When the request ID is disabled, the load balancer won't add this unique request ID header to the request passed through to the load balancer backend or to the response returned. To enable the request ID, see Enabling a Log.

To enable a disabled log, click the Actions menu (Actions Menu) associated with the disabled access or error category and select Enable.
