Getting HTTP router information

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at May 5, 2025

You can get the router ID, its hosts, and their routes.

To get HTTP router information:

Management console
CLI
Terraform
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing your router.
  2. Select Application Load Balancer.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select HTTP routers.
  4. Select your HTTP router.
  5. You will see your router details on the Overview page.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for getting HTTP router information:

    yc alb http-router get --help
    
  2. To get HTTP router information, run this command with its ID or name specified:

    yc alb http-router get <HTTP_router_name>
    

    Result:

    id: ds7u8nv8gl2s********
    name: alb-router
    folder_id: b1geoelk7fld********
    virtual_hosts:
      - name: alb-host
        authority:
          - www.first-site.ru
          - first-site.ru
        route_options:
          security_profile_id: fevcifh6tr**********
        rate_limit:
          all_requests:
            per_second: "100"
        routes:
          - name: route-1
            http:
              route:
                backend_group_id: ds7maho6c4or********

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or mirror website.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure its Yandex Cloud provider.

To get HTTP router information using Terraform:

  1. Add data and output sections to the Terraform configuration file:

    data "yandex_alb_http_router" "tf-router" {
      http_router_id = "<HTTP_router_ID>"
    }
    
    output "tf-router-name" {
      value = data.yandex_alb_http_router.tf-router.name
    }
    

    Where:

    • data "yandex_alb_http_router": Description of the HTTP router as a data source:
      • http_router_id: HTTP router ID.
    • output "tf-router-name": Output variable with the HTTP router name:
      • value: Return value.

    You can replace name with another variable to get the information you need. For more information about the yandex_alb_http_router data source variables, see the relevant provider documentation.

  2. Create the resources:

    1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      
    3. Run the command:

      terraform plan
      

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

    Terraform will create the HTTP router and display its output variable. To check the results, run this command:

    terraform output
    

    Result:

    tf-router-name = "myrouter"
    

To get HTTP router details, use the get REST API method for the Origin resource or the HttpRouterService/Get gRPC API call.
