Load Balancer Status

DigitalOcean Load Balancers are a fully managed, highly available network load balancing service. Load balancers distribute traffic to groups of Droplets, which prevents the health of a backend service from depending on the health of a single server.

On DigitalOcean, load balancers for Droplets can have the following statuses:

• Healthy: All nodes in this load balancer have passed their latest health check.
• Issue: Only some nodes in this load balancer have passed their latest health check.
• Down: No nodes in this load balancer have passed their latest health check.
• No Droplets: This load balancer does not have any associated Droplets. See how to add Droplets.

You can view a load balancer’s status in the control panel, in the Networking page and Load Balancers tab.
