In a Traffic Controller pool, Failover Delay and All Fail settings are used to manage failover behavior and reduce flapping between servers.
Failover Delay
Failover Delay is the amount of time that is waited after detecting that a pool record has failed before activating secondary records.
All Fail
All Fail defines the record that is served when all other pool records have failed. Multiple All Fail records can be configured.
Weight
Weight determines how traffic is distributed across records in the pool. Adjusting the value changes the proportion of traffic sent to each record.
Important Notes
- If no record is designated as All Fail, the Traffic Controller pool will fail when all serving records fail.
- This can result in downtime if no fallback record is configured.
