Log Explorer has a refreshed dataset configuration experience in the Cloudflare dashboard. The new controls make it easier to choose which fields and events Log Explorer ingests.

• Grouped field selection organizes fields by category and shows the number selected in each group.
• Field details identify each field's data type and mark required or deprecated fields.
• Bulk controls let you select all fields or reset the selection to the dataset defaults.
• Ingestion filters let you ingest all events or only events that match your conditions.

These controls are available when you add a dataset or select Actions > Edit for an enabled dataset.

For more information, refer to Configure fields and filters.

Cloudflare Log Explorer customers can now permanently delete account and zone datasets from the Cloudflare dashboard or API.

Deletion protection is enabled by default to prevent accidental data loss. In the dashboard, go to Manage datasets, disable deletion protection for the dataset, select Delete, and enter the dataset name to confirm.

To delete a dataset through the API, first set deletion_protection to false with the Update an account or zone dataset method. Then use the Delete an account or zone dataset method.

Dataset deletion is irreversible and runs asynchronously. You cannot recreate the same dataset while deletion is in progress.

Radar adds an ASPA validation tool to its Routing section. Enter a BGP AS_PATH and the tool checks it against the Autonomous System Provider Authorization (ASPA) records currently published in the RPKI, returning a verdict of Valid, Invalid, or Unknown. An Invalid verdict means no chain of provider authorizations covers the whole path, which is the signature of a route leak.

Validation follows draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification, so verdicts match those produced by validators implementing the same draft. The draft is still a work in progress and not yet an RFC.

Paths are read in BGP wire order: the rightmost AS is the origin, and the leftmost AS is the one closest to the collector or router that observed the route. AS numbers can be separated by spaces, commas, or hyphens, with or without an AS prefix. The full ASPA snapshot is loaded into the browser once, so the verdict, graph, and trace update as the path is edited, with no further requests. A set of example paths covers the interesting cases, including a route leak with an AS0 ASPA, where an AS declares that it has no providers at all.

The draft defines two verification algorithms that differ only in whether a down-ramp is permitted:

• Upstream (section 5.4) — for routes received from a customer, peer, route server client, or route server. Only an up-ramp is permitted.
• Downstream (section 5.5) — for routes received from a provider. Both an up-ramp and a down-ramp are permitted.

An up-ramp is the run of consecutive customer-to-provider hops from the origin to the apex of the path, and a down-ramp is the equivalent run from the announcing neighbor back to that apex. The tool evaluates both algorithms at once and labels each with its verdict, so a path that is legitimate when received from one session type and a leak when received from another is visible without switching modes. Selecting an algorithm drives the graph and the trace.

The ASPA validation graph draws the path hop by hop, labeling each AS with its role, whether it publishes an ASPA, and how many providers that ASPA authorizes. Every hop is marked Provider+, Not Provider+, or No attestation, and the maximum and minimum bounds of each ramp are drawn against the length of the path. Hops that no ramp reaches are highlighted, because a path the ramps cannot cover end to end is Invalid. The accompanying ASPA records table lists every AS in the path with its ASPA status and its authorized providers, each linked to its Radar AS page.

The Algorithm step by step section shows the derivation rather than just the answer. Two columns run the same scans under different stopping rules: the upper bounds, which test for Invalid and stop only on Not Provider+, and the lower bounds, which test for Unknown and also stop on No Attestation. A hop is Not Provider+ when the AS publishes an ASPA that does not list the next AS as a provider, and No Attestation when the AS publishes no ASPA at all. Each column lists the outcome for every hop scanned, marks where the scan stopped, gives the resulting ramp length, and then evaluates the verdict rule with the numbers filled in.

The path and the selected algorithm are kept in the URL, so a link reproduces a result exactly — for example, this route leak with an AS0 ASPA. Appending &mode=upstream pins the link to the upstream algorithm. The graph is a standard Radar widget, so it can also be embedded or shared as an image.

The records behind the tool are the same ones served by the /bgp/rpki/aspa/snapshot endpoint of the ASPA API, and the number of records loaded and the snapshot timestamp are shown alongside the input.

Try the ASPA validation tool with a path of your own.

Cloudflare Web Analytics (Real User Monitoring) is rolling out accuracy improvements to client-side soft navigations.

This change may alter the volume of pageviews reported in the dashboard and GraphQL API, though the extent depends on your front-end architecture and visitor traffic patterns.

Single Page Applications (SPAs)—such as websites built with React, Angular, Vue, or Svelte—predominantly use soft navigations. Soft navigations avoid fully unloading the current page and rendering the next one from scratch as visitors navigate.

Any client-side navigation counts as a soft navigation, including navigations intercepted by the Navigation API ↗ or triggered by the History API ↗. This means a non-SPA website can have soft navigation activity if its implementation uses these APIs.

The main improvement comes from Google Chrome's new Soft Navigation API ↗. It natively measures Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) on soft navigations, removing a blind spot in perceived loading speed across pageviews.

We've extended our navigationType values to segment these different types of navigations:

navigationType | New? | Description

navigate | ❌ | Hard navigations that traditional websites (or "Multi Page Applications") perform when clicking links or submitting forms

soft-navigation | ✅ | Where the new Soft Navigation API ↗ is available and a visitor makes a client-side navigation, we record these events

routing-apis | ✅ | Where the native Soft Navigation API is unavailable (e.g. Safari, Firefox, older Chromium-based browsers), we fallback to measuring soft navigations using the Navigation API ↗ or History API ↗. We cannot collect LCP for these, but the other Core Web Vitals are present.

Prior to this change, we only used History API and all navigations were bucketed into navigate.

For more information, refer to the Navigation Types and Web Analytics SPA documentation pages.

Cloudflare has fixed an issue affecting WebSocket data transfer reporting. HTTP Traffic Analytics and HTTP request logs now correctly count data transferred throughout a WebSocket connection, restoring the correct behavior. During the affected period, reporting captured only the initial 101 Switching Protocols handshake for some WebSocket connections, which could underreport their data transfer.

Customers with WebSocket traffic will see the correct Data Transfer in the dashboard and EdgeResponseBytes in analytics and HTTP request logs. The change reflects restored accounting of existing WebSocket traffic, not an increase in traffic caused by this change. WebSocket connection behavior is unaffected.

The separate WebSocket Analytics Logpush dataset continues to provide per-connection directional byte counts, timestamps, and close details.

For more information about HTTP Traffic Analytics, refer to Zone Analytics.

Radar expands its Routing section with two widgets on AS pages, such as AS13335, that describe how a network reaches the rest of the Internet: the paths it takes toward the Tier-1 networks, and the mix of direct upstreams carrying its routes. Both are derived from RouteViews RIB snapshots, unioned across selected collectors.

AS-level connectivity

The AS-level connectivity graph aggregates the BGP paths an AS uses to reach the Tier-1 networks, unioned across all the prefixes it announces, as observed by selected RouteViews collectors. It reads from left to right, starting at the queried AS and ending at the Tier-1 networks, and each node is labeled with its AS number, country, and organization name. Tier-1 nodes are marked so they stand apart from the intermediate networks that lead to them.

By default, the graph shows the network's direct connections to Tier-1 networks plus the indirect paths, which keeps the view readable. A Show full paths toggle expands it to every observed path, including transit through Tier-1 networks the AS already connects to. An IP version selector switches between IPv4 and IPv6, because the paths reaching Tier-1 networks may differ between the two address families.

This is the AS-level counterpart to the Real-time connectivity graph on prefix pages, such as the one for 1.1.1.0/24. Instead of covering a single prefix, it covers the union of paths for all prefixes an AS announces, which makes it a fast way to read a network's transit hierarchy: which providers it depends on, how many hops separate it from the core, and whether its paths to the core are diverse or concentrated. For more information on the prefix-level graph, refer to BGP real-time routes.

Upstream providers

The Upstream providers widget tracks the share of an AS's observed paths carried by each of its direct upstream networks over time, drawn as a stacked area chart. Up to 10 upstreams appear as their own series and the remaining ones are grouped into Other. Transit changes such as adding a provider, dropping one, or moving traffic between them appear as movement between bands rather than as a single aggregate number. As with the connectivity graph, an IP version selector switches between IPv4 and IPv6.

API endpoints

The data behind both widgets is also available through two new endpoints on the BGP API:

• /bgp/routes/paths/{asn} — Returns the ordered AS path segments an AS uses to reach the Tier-1 networks, each with its observed path count, peer count, and contributing collectors, alongside the name and country of every ASN in the response. Pass collector to scope the result to a single RouteViews collector.
• /bgp/routes/upstreams/{asn}/timeseries — Returns the share of an AS's observed paths carried by each direct upstream over time. Use limit to control how many upstreams come back as separate series before the rest are grouped into an OTHER series, and ipVersion to select the address family.

Visit the AS13335 routing page to explore both widgets, or swap in any other AS number.

Cloudflare Radar now includes Radar Researcher, a beta AI-powered assistant for exploring Internet trends and traffic data in plain language.

Cloudflare Web Analytics (Real User Monitoring) has rolled out performance optimizations to significantly improve the stability and loading speed of account-wide dashboards.

For larger accounts (with >100 Web Analytics sites), loading the aggregate account-wide view would often fail, running into timeouts or unexpected interface errors due to the massive scale of parallel query processing. This update optimizes how high-volume multi-site data is queried to reduce errors and provide a snappier dashboard experience.

Accounts with up to 1,000 sites will now be able to load this account-wide aggregate view without experiencing misleading errors.

If you have an account with over 1,000 sites, we cannot currently aggregate over this volume due to processing constraints but you will now be presented with a clear error and instruction to filter to the relevant site(s) you wish to see the data for.

Digital Experience Monitoring (DEX) provides visibility into device, network, and application performance across your Cloudflare SASE deployment.

The Device Monitoring page now analyzes hardware and network data between a Cloudflare One Client device and Cloudflare's edge, so you can diagnose connectivity and performance issues. Previously, this data was only available in raw DEX Device State Event logs, which required you to build your own analytics to interpret it.

A summary at the top of the page shows the health of each category at a glance, using Good, Fair, and Poor labels:

• Connection — connection status, Cloudflare One Client mode, and tunnel type over time
• Wi-Fi signal strength — signal measured in dBm over time, with thresholds that flag a weak signal
• Traffic performance — upstream and downstream performance, including network throughput on the active interface
• Device health — hardware metrics such as CPU, memory, and disk

You can filter by category and adjust the time range to correlate a device's metrics with a user's reported issue.

These analytics are available to all Cloudflare One customers at no additional cost.

To learn more, refer to the DEX monitoring documentation.

Enterprise customers can now push per-connection WebSocket analytics to any Logpush destination using the new websocket_analytics dataset. Each log record is emitted when a WebSocket connection closes and includes fields that were previously only available to Cloudflare engineers via internal tooling.

Key fields include:

• ConnectionCloseReason — why the connection ended: peerReset, peerNoError, timedOut, upstreamReset, protocolViolation, unspecifiedError, or none.
• ConnectionCloseSource — which side initiated the close: upstream, downstream, me, or both.
• ConnectionTransportCloseCode — the TLS alert code or TCP-level close code for additional precision.
• RayID — correlate WebSocket connection events with your existing HTTP Request logs.

The dataset also includes directional byte counts (BytesSentClient, BytesReceivedClient, BytesSentOrigin, BytesReceivedOrigin), connection timestamps, client IP, colo code, and request metadata from the original WebSocket upgrade.

This data lets you build alerts on connection close patterns — for example, detecting spikes in TCP resets (ConnectionCloseReason == "peerReset") grouped by host and data center — directly in your existing log analysis tools.

For the full list of available fields, refer to WebSocket Analytics.

Cloudflare Logpush now supports firewall events as an account-scoped dataset. Configure a single Logpush job at the account level to receive firewall events for every zone in the account, instead of creating and maintaining a separate job per zone.

The dataset includes a new ZoneName field so you can identify which zone each event came from when consuming logs in your downstream pipeline.

What's available

• A new account-scoped firewall_events dataset, configurable via the Logpush API or the Cloudflare dashboard.
• The same fields and filter expressions supported by the existing zone-scoped firewall events dataset, plus the new ZoneName field.
• Support for all existing Logpush destinations.

Cloudflare has updated Logpush datasets:

New datasets

WebSocket Analytics: A new dataset with fields including BytesReceivedClient, BytesReceivedOrigin, BytesSentClient, BytesSentOrigin, ClientASN, ClientIP, ClientRequestHost, ClientRequestPath, ClientRequestUserAgent, ColoCode, ConnectionCloseReason, ConnectionCloseSource, ConnectionID, ConnectionTransportCloseCode, EdgeEndTimestamp, EdgeStartTimestamp, and RayID.

Updated fields in existing datasets

Firewall events (added): ZoneName. The Firewall events dataset is now also available for account-scope Logpush, in addition to the existing zone scope.

Email Security Alerts (added): BCC, DKIMResult, DMARCPolicy, DMARCResult, and SPFResult.

For the complete field definitions for each dataset, refer to Logpush datasets.
