Server Load Balancer:UpdateLoadBalancerAttribute

Last Updated:Jan 16, 2026

Modifies the attributes of an Application Load Balancer (ALB) instance, such as the name and the configuration read-only mode.

Operation description

UpdateLoadBalancerAttribute is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call GetLoadBalancerAttribute to query the status of the task.

  • If the ALB instance is in the Configuring state, the ALB instance is being modified.

  • If the ALB instance is in the Active state, the ALB instance is modified.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.

5A2CFF0E-5718-45B5-9D4D-70B3FF3898

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform only a dry run, without performing the actual request. Valid values:

  • true: performs only a dry run. The system checks the request for potential issues, including missing parameter values, incorrect request syntax, and service limits. If the request fails the dry run, an error message is returned. If the request passes the dry run, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.

  • false: performs a dry run and sends the request. If the request passes the dry run, a 2xx HTTP status code is returned and the operation is performed. This is the default value.

true

LoadBalancerId

string

Yes

The ID of the ALB instance.

alb-o9ulmq5hgn68jk****

LoadBalancerName

string

No

The name of the ALB instance. The name must be 2 to 128 characters in length, and can contain letters, digits, periods (.), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The name must start with a letter.

alb-instance-test

ModificationProtectionConfig

object

No

The configuration read-only mode settings.

Reason

string

No

The reason for enabling the configuration read-only mode.

The name must be 2 to 128 characters in length, and can contain letters, digits, periods (.), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). It must start with a letter.

This parameter takes effect only when Status is set to ConsoleProtection.

Managed Instance

Status

string

No

Specifies whether to enable the configuration read-only mode. Valid values:

  • NonProtection: disables the configuration read-only mode. In this case, the value of the Reason parameter that you specify does not take effect. If you set the value of Reason, the value is cleared.

  • ConsoleProtection: enables the configuration read-only mode. In this case, the value of the Reason parameter that you specify takes effect.****

Note

If the parameter is set to ConsoleProtection, the configuration read-only mode is enabled. You cannot modify the configurations of the ALB instance in the ALB console. However, you can call API operations to modify the configurations of the ALB instance.
