Node Removals

​

When to request a node removal

SaladCloud makes a best effort to identify and remove underperforming SaladCloud nodes. However, in the event that a SaladCloud node becomes blocked by a content provider, or for any other reason fails to meet your requirements, you can request that it be removed from the list of available IPs and replaced with a fresh node. At the time that the request is received, the node which is connected to the session ID in the request body will be removed.

If a node becomes unavailable, it will automatically be replaced with a fresh node. For this reason, we recommend that you submit the node removal request as soon as possible after detecting an underperforming node to avoid inadvertently removing a fresh node which may have already replaced the underperforming node.
