Table 2 Parameter description

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

marker

No

String

Specifies the ID of the backend server from which pagination query starts, that is, the ID of the last backend server on the previous page. If this parameter is not specified, the first page will be queried.

This parameter must be used together with limit.

limit

No

Integer

Specifies the number of backend servers on each page. If this parameter is not set, all backend servers are queried by default.

page_reverse

No

Boolean

Specifies the page direction. The value can be true or false, and the default value is false. The last page in the list requested with page_reverse set to false will not contain the "next" link, and the last page in the list requested with page_reverse set to true will not contain the "previous" link.

This parameter must be used with limit.

id

Specifies the backend server ID.

NOTE:

The value of this parameter is not the ID of the server but an ID automatically generated for the backend server that has already associated with the load balancer.

tenant_id

No

String

Specifies the ID of the project where the backend server is used.

The value contains a maximum of 255 characters.

name

No

String

Specifies the backend server name.

The value contains a maximum of 255 characters.

admin_state_up

No

Boolean

Specifies the administrative status of the backend server.

The value can be true or false.

NOTE:

This parameter can be used during creation and update and its actual value depends on whether the backend server exists. If the backend server exists, the value is true. Otherwise, the value is false.

weight

No

Integer

Specifies the backend server weight.

admin_state_up

Boolean

Specifies the administrative status of the backend server. The value can be true or false.

Currently, the value can only be true.

Specifies the backend server weight. The value ranges from 0 to 100.

If the value is 0, the backend server will not accept new requests. The default value is 1.

operating_status

String

Specifies the health check result of the backend server. The value can be one of the following:

  • ONLINE: The health check is successfully conducted and the backend server is running properly.
  • OFFLINE: The health check is abnormal and the backend server is running improperly. The load balancer stops distributing traffic to this server until it recovers.
  • NO_MONITOR: No health check is conducted. No health checks are configured, or the value of admin_state_up is false.
  • The value contains a maximum of 16 characters.
