Identify Mesh, Workers VPC, and Tunnel replicas in network logs

Gateway and Zero Trust Network Session Logs now identify traffic from Mesh nodes and Workers VPC with new fields including OnrampType, SourceName, SourceID, and DestinationReplicaID, enabling you to distinguish between different traffic sources and pinpoint which Tunnel or Mesh replica handled each session.

You can now tell a person on a laptop apart from a Mesh node or an AI agent running on Workers, without matching on connector email addresses or Mesh IP ranges — and see exactly which Cloudflare Tunnel and cloudflared replica received each session.

Gateway network logs and Zero Trust Network Session Logs now identify two new kinds of traffic:

  • Mesh — Traffic sent from or delivered to a Cloudflare Mesh node. Previously, Mesh nodes were logged the same way as devices running the Cloudflare One Client, because Mesh nodes run the client in headless mode.
  • Workers VPC — Traffic sent by a Worker through a Workers VPC binding. Previously, Workers VPC sessions were not recorded in Network Session Logs.
Viewing Mesh and Workers VPC traffic in Gateway network logs

Gateway network logs

To view these values in the dashboard, go to Zero Trust > Insights & Logs > Logs > Network logs, select Columns, and turn on Traffic Source and Traffic Destination. Both values also appear under Network query details when you open a log entry.

Network Session Logs

The zero_trust_network_sessions dataset, available through Logpush, includes the following fields:

Field Description
OnrampType How the session entered Cloudflare One. Values: CF1_CLIENT, MESH, WORKERS_VPC, MAGIC, OTHER.
Offramp Where the session was routed. Sessions routed to a Mesh node report MESH.
SourceName Name of the Worker that started the session. Only populated for Workers VPC sessions.
SourceID Stable identifier of the Worker that started the session. Only populated for Workers VPC sessions.
DestinationReplicaID The replica that served the session, such as a specific replica of a Mesh node or a cloudflared replica of a Cloudflare Tunnel.

For example, OnrampType = 'WORKERS_VPC' AND Offramp = 'MESH' returns every session where a Worker reached a service behind a Mesh node, and SourceName tells you which Worker it was.

Redeploy your Workers

SourceName and SourceID are only populated for Workers deployed after 29 September 2026. To include them for an existing Worker, redeploy it — for example, with npx wrangler deploy. No code changes are required.

See which tunnel and replica received a session

With DestinationReplicaID, you can now confirm which Cloudflare Tunnel and which cloudflared replica received traffic for a specific session. Combine it with the existing DestinationTunnelID field to trace a session to an exact tunnel replica — or Mesh node replica — when you run multiple replicas for high availability. The replica ID matches the Connector ID shown in the dashboard, so you can stream that replica's logs with cloudflared tail --connector-id.

Sessions logged before this change are not backfilled. For all available fields, refer to Zero Trust Network Session Logs.

Cloudflare API MCP server now serves Cloudflare skills

The Cloudflare API MCP server now integrates with the Skills over MCP extension, allowing MCP clients to discover and access Cloudflare skills. Users can add the MCP server endpoint to compatible MCP clients to access these skills.

WAF failed detections field now available in Rules

A new cf.appsec.request.failed_detections field lets you control how rules handle requests when security detections fail. This array of detection IDs covers content scanning, WAF attack scoring, attack signatures, leaked credentials, and AI-based PII/prompt injection/custom topic detection failures, and works across custom rules, rate limiting rules, and request header transform rules.

Markdown for Agents: More efficient in-process streaming conversion

Markdown for Agents now uses an in-process streaming engine at the edge to convert HTML, reducing overhead and memory use. The conversion limit increased from 2 MiB to 6 MiB, and token count headers are no longer generated.
