This topic describes how to edit, disable, or delete a load balancer.
Edit a load balancer
You can edit the load balancer to modify the settings, such as the origin pool, traffic steering policy, and protocol type.
In the ESA console, choose Websites and click the website name you want to manage.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Load Balancing page, find the load balancer that you want to manage, and click Edit in the Actions column.
Modify the settings as needed.

Enable or disable a load balancer
When you need to perform system maintenance or software upgrade on an origin server, you can disable the load balancer that hosts the origin server to ensure that no new requests are routed to the origin server. This prevents any possible data loss or service interruptions. After the upgrade or maintenance is complete, you can enable the load balancer to resume business.
In the ESA console, choose Websites and click the website name you want to manage.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Load Balancing page, find the load balancer that you want to manage, turn on or turn off the switch in the Status column to enable or disable the load balancer.
Delete a load balancer
You can delete a load balancer if it is no longer needed.
Important
Each load balancer is identified by its hostname. By default, an LB DNS record is automatically created for the specified hostname when you create a load balancer.
If the load balancer is referenced by a DNS record, delete the DNS record first before you delete the load balancer.
In the ESA console, choose Websites and click the website name you want to manage.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Load Balancing page, find the load balancer that you want to delete, and click Delete in the Actions column.
