Load Balancer → Change Algorithm
AI-generatedSummary
Change a Hetzner Cloud load balancer’s traffic distribution algorithm by submitting a change-algorithm action.
Inputs
- Load Balancer (required) — Choose a load balancer from the list or provide its ID.
- Algorithm — Select Least Connections (default) or Round Robin. The selected algorithm is sent as the request body’s
typefield. - Request Options — Optional HTTP settings: batch input items (default 50 per batch, 1000 ms interval), accept invalid SSL certificates, set a proxy, or set a request timeout (default 10000 ms).
Output shape
A single action record.
The node sends a POST request to the load balancer’s change-algorithm action endpoint and unwraps the response’s
actionproperty. The action record represents the requested change.
