DetachLoadBalancers - Auto Scaling

Detaches Classic Load Balancer (CLB, formerly known as Server Load Balancer or SLB) instances from a scaling group. If the current CLB instance no longer meets your business requirements, you can call the DetachLoadBalancers operation to detach it from your scaling group. When you call this operation, you can use ScalingGroupId, LoadBalancer.N, and ForceDetach to specify one or more CLB instances to detach. You can also determine whether to call this operation asynchronously and whether to remove the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances acting as backend servers from the backend server groups of the CLB instance. You can call this operation to detach only CLB instances from a scaling group.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Example	Description
Action	String	Yes	DetachLoadBalancers	The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to DetachLoadBalancers.
ScalingGroupId	String	Yes	asg-bp1ffogfdauy0jw0****	The ID of the scaling group.
ForceDetach	Boolean	No	false	Specifies whether to remove the ECS instances acting as backend servers from the backend server groups of the CLB instance. Valid values: true false Default value: false.
ClientToken	String	No	123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-42665544****	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 and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see Ensure idempotence.
Async	Boolean	No	false	Specifies whether to detach CLB instance N from the scaling group in an asynchronous manner. If you detach CLB instance N from the scaling group in an asynchronous manner, the call is successful only after all operations are complete. If a specific operation fails, the call fails. We recommend that you set this parameter to true. Valid values: true: detaches CLB instance N from the scaling group in an asynchronous manner. In this case, the ID of the scaling activity will be returned. false: does not detach CLB instance N from the scaling group in an asynchronous manner. Default value: false.
LoadBalancer.N	String	No	lb-2zeur05gfs****	The ID of CLB instance N that you want to detach from the scaling group. Valid values of N: 1 to 5.
RegionId	String	No	cn-qingdao	The region ID of the scaling group.

Type

Example

Description

ScalingActivityId

String

asa-bp140qd7mak8k63f****

The ID of the scaling activity.

The value of this parameter is returned only if you set Async to true. You can call the DescribeScalingActivities operation to query the returned IDs of scaling activities and view the execution status of the scaling activities.

RequestId

String

473469C7-AA6F-4DC5-B3DB-A3DC0DE3****

The request ID.
