Do logpush settings take awhile to take effect?

daveOP•1/14/24, 5:43 PM

I disabled a Worker logpush target and it's still writing logs lol

answer: https://developers.cloudflare.com/logs/faq/logpush/#i-have-reconfigured-the-job-to-a-new-destination-but-why-am-i-still-receiving-the-logs-at-the-old-destination

Yes. Up to 10-15 minutes.

ZZnuff ah, fields are documented at https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/ru...

yea sslssl is what you're looking for, most are documented there

Is it possible to set a worker as a target in a load balancer setup? We want to migrate production traffic from a legacy service to a worker and want to gradually increment traffic to the worker to see the possible impact. The docs are not quite certain if it possible, I just found a mention of Pages.

Didn't think about using a worker in this case.

kev-ac•1/15/24, 1:56 AM

But I'd kind of prefer the Load balancer in this case because I have more in-depth configuration options.

Quick question:

If I want to have the same effect as Authenticated Origin Pulls, should I actually use this or would using CloudFlare Tunnels be better for a website?

RyanKnack•1/15/24, 3:31 AM

I heard that AOP has to install certificates on the server, see if it's expired or not and blah blah but CF Tunnels may just work instantly without having to expose my infrastructure to the general internet

RyanKnack•1/15/24, 3:31 AM

How about the stability of it

RyanKnack•1/15/24, 3:32 AM

Brilliant to hear this

RyanKnack•1/15/24, 3:32 AM

Shall try it out

IIRC, you have to use a Cloudflare Tunnel if you’re on non-standard ports

I’m having trouble connecting to a website that’s blocking me with a 1xxx error for website protection. Is there a reason I am unable to connect to it?

iLLKrAcKeR•1/15/24, 8:02 AM

Any help would be great it’s time sensitive.

iLLKrAcKeR•1/15/24, 8:04 AM

The rest of the site seems to work fine for me till I try to connect to this

iLLKrAcKeR•1/15/24, 8:10 AM

Can anyone point me in the right direction for support?

AlphaCentauri•1/15/24, 8:38 AM

You have to contact the website owner, it may be a Cloudflare block message, but it’s at the behest of the website owner and therefore you’ll always need to speak with them

Is there any cache HIT loading speed difference between free and enterprise or any paid plan.

I believe there is increased speed for cache serving in enterprise/paid plans.

Unsmart•1/15/24, 5:36 PM

No the cache is the same speed

Hiya,
We are creating our caching system at the moment, I'm wondering, is there a way to tell cloudflare; "go fetch all the urls in this path" in order for to cache it prior to any user visiting it?
If so, would it work for updates? I don't mind creating a microservice that does it, just wondering if anyone can lead me the right direction for that and if there's any API support for that

RRapid Hiya, We are creating our caching system at the moment, I'm wondering, is there...

Chaika•1/15/24, 5:45 PM

There isn't, and I would keep in mind too Cloudflare cache by default is heavily partitioned, there's one cache per colo/datacenter. That would be a lot of requests. Enterprise has something called Prefetch URLs (https://developers.cloudflare.com/speed/optimization/content/prefetch-urls/), which uses link response headers with prefetch that it'll bring into cache if responded with. (i.e user requests document html, it responds with link headers for assets, CF pre-fetches those before the user does)

You have Tiered Cache as well which for free you get the Smart Topology, which selects a CF location closest to your origin to check for cache, i.e User -> Local CF Datacenter/colo -> Smart Tiered Caching Selected -> Real Origin. If your goal is high cache % at the cost of some latency and you're not using an anycast service/something that lives in more then one location, Smart Tiered Caching can help.

(Edit: Enterprise has other topologies for tiered caching if you are ENT, that can work with even anycast origins in multiple locations and a middle tier option to further increase cache % with less latency)

Chaika•1/15/24, 5:47 PM

As for APIs there is a Purge API: https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/operations/zone-purge#purge-cached-content-by-url
You could have really long Cache TTL (keeping in mind it's a maximum and not guaranteed to be in cache for that long), and then call the purge API when updating content to try to increase cache % with still getting instant updates

Cloudflare API Documentation

Interact with Cloudflare's products and services via the Cloudflare API

Rapid•1/15/24, 5:54 PM

So lets try it with an example. Our servers are based at NVirginia (nothing new :)).
1. We have around 4,000 static pages that barely (if ever) change.
2. We have our main page which gets exposure to many users and as there are more cache hits it increases cache time

I want to update my cache on my main page every 3mins for example (We are using the workers method to serve cached content with real-time fetched data). Which means every 3 mins I want to kind of "push" and update for the cached data.

With the static pages, lets say one of my writers makes an update, I want to purge it obviously, but then I want to create a new cache that sets a proper

age

age

for it, so incase google comes and tries to check it, it will be fetched from cache, and not access the server.

Rapid•1/15/24, 5:55 PM

Hopefully this can provide more info on what I'm looking for, I would say google/client would be the same, since I want it to be as fast as possible obviously. Wouldn't it be possible to send a list of URLs to get cached? Like 4K URLs, and set a time (1 day) for example for caching. Does age even play a role here?

Chaika•1/15/24, 5:58 PM

Send where? There's no API you can send items to for Cloudflare to fetch & cache for you.
You could do a local fetch, but keeping in mind what I said above, without tiered cache on that would just populate the local cf datacenter cache.
There's no way to fill up all of the caches globally without having requests to all of those

Chaika•1/15/24, 5:59 PM

There is a min. edge cache ttl too. https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/how-to/edge-browser-cache-ttl/
For Free, 2 hours, Pro, 1 hour, Biz and Ent, 1 second. Anything less then that just wouldn't be cached at edge. You cache it for longer though (let's say 24 hours) and call the cache purge api at any time though, might be easier to control it that way if you want to adjust how long it'll be cached for, like with the main page

Rapid•1/15/24, 6:02 PM

I see, okay, thanks! I'll look through it first

RRapid I see, okay, thanks! I'll look through it first

Chaika•1/15/24, 6:06 PM

There are other potential options as well, could leverage KV and local cache in a Worker, could be kind of pricey though.
Which plan are you on?
There's a feedback loop there where the more requests you get, the more places your assets will be in cache, the lower latency, etc, but can't force it. Cloudflare wants only frequent assets in cache, there's a finite amount of space

Rapid•1/15/24, 6:07 PM

Currently using pro plan

Rapid•1/15/24, 6:08 PM

Can increase to business if it is needed for that

Chaika•1/15/24, 6:10 PM

As I was saying above Cache is per colo/datacenter. Cloudflare has points of presence (PoPs), identified by airport codes like ORD (Chicago), EWR (New York). Some of those PoPs are multi-colo (MCPs), and each with their own cache. There's some 200-300 PoPs or something and around 550 colos. If there was a global cache pull api that would be a ton of requests and 550 copies of each asset lol, that's why there are tools like tiered caching and such. Generally speaking though your visitors are not going to be that evenly spread, just going to be a few popular points most likely

Rapid•1/15/24, 6:11 PM

Yeah, I'm just looking to make sure users get it almost instatnly from anywhere, but the main thing is google ofcourse

Rapid•1/15/24, 6:12 PM

I just saw your description, ClickHouse and Cloudflare workers, what are you doing with ClickHouse if I may ask :)?

Chaika•1/15/24, 6:13 PM

You can use the CDN-Cache-Control response header to control Cloudflare's cache ttl and such, and then Cache-Control would just be for the browser:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/concepts/cdn-cache-control/
ex, cache main page and all other pages for 24 hours, purge via API whenever needed. Cloudflare has an extension for Wordpress (APO) which does exactly that, not a bad pattern

Analytics and lots of data

Could move to off-topic to talk about that
Cloudflare also uses Clickhouse for all of its analytics, traffic graphs, Cloudflare Radar and such, it's really powerful
