# View load balancer status

Two statuses are displayed for the load balancer:

* [operating status](#balancer-operating-statuses) — shows the traffic balancing status;
* [instance configuration status](#balancer-provisioning-statuses) — shows the status of applying the latest settings in the load balancer.

## View load balancer operating status \{#balancer-operating-statuses}

1. In the [Control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vpc/default/lbaas/load-balancers/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Cloud Servers**.

2. Go to the **Load Balancers** section → **Load Balancers** tab.

3. Check the status in the load balancer card.

<CustomTable>
  <table>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <th>ONLINE</th><td>The load balancer is running, and all target groups are accepting traffic according to the specified rules</td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <th>OFFLINE</th><td>The load balancer is not processing requests and is turned off</td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <th>DEGRADED</th><td>There are unavailable servers in the load balancer's target groups, but all groups continue to accept traffic</td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <th>ERROR</th><td>One of the target groups has stopped accepting requests, or a load balancer error has occurred. If all servers are working correctly and have the status `ONLINE`, [create a ticket](https://my.selectel.ru/tickets/create/)</td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <th>NO\_MONITOR</th><td>Health checks are not enabled for the load balancer's target groups. If all load balancer servers have this status, the load balancer status is ≠ `ONLINE`</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</CustomTable>

## View instance configuration status \{#balancer-provisioning-statuses}

      </tr>

      <tr>
        <th>ERROR</th><td>An error occurred while applying the settings. Traffic is being balanced according to the old settings. Try to update the settings again; if the error persists, [create a ticket](https://my.selectel.ru/tickets/create/)</td>
