Using load balancing analytics, you can:

* Evaluate traffic flow.
* Assess the health status of endpoints in your pools.
* Review changes in pools and pool health over time.

Note

Load balancing analytics are only available to customers on paid plans (Pro, Business, and Enterprise).

## Dashboard Analytics

### Overview metrics

To view **Overview** metrics for your load balancer, go to **Traffic** > **Load Balancing Analytics**.

These metrics show the number of requests routed to specific pools within a load balancer, helping you:

* Evaluate the effects of adding or removing a pool.
* Decide when to create new pools.
* Plan for peak traffic demands and future infrastructure needs.

Add additional filters for specific pools, times, regions, and endpoints.

Note

Load balancing **requests** are the number of uncached requests made by your load balancer. By default, Cloudflare caches resolved IP addresses for up to five seconds.

### Latency

**Latency** metrics show an interactive map, helping you identify regions with **Unhealthy** or **Slow** pools.

To view latency information for your load balancer, go to **Traffic** > **Load Balancing Analytics** > **Latency**.

### Logs

**Logs** provide a history of all endpoint status changes and how they affect your load balancing pools. Load Balancing only logs events that represent a status change for an endpoint, from healthy to unhealthy or vice versa.

To access logs in the dashboard, go to **Traffic** > **Load Balancing Analytics**.

## GraphQL Analytics

For more flexibility, get load balancing metrics directly from the [GraphQL Analytics API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/graphql-api/).
