Cloudflare API Documentation
Does anyone have any experience with this API endpoint and maybe shed some light on whether it'll achieve what I'm looking for: https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/operations/cloudflare-tunnel-clean-up-cloudflare-tunnel-connections
Yesterday we had an unforeseen issue when a hardware issue with one of our servers caused all our applications on that node to crash and left our server remotely inaccessible. However, Cloudflared was somehow still running and therefore still accepting ingress traffic that couldn't properly be handled and therefore caused downtime. We had to use a KVM to kill the server to stop Cloudflared which resulted in all traffic being re-routed to healthy servers using that Tunnel.
To mitigate this odd condition, is it possible to use the above API endpoint to just ban and exclude a certain
tunnel_id from accepting traffic, even if it's seemingly healthy from Cloudflare's side? And if so, would the service try to re-establish connection immediately undoing the purpose of what I'm trying to achieve?Cloudflare API Documentation

I'm 100% what would happen but I think that that API would cause the cloudflared connector to no longer work until the process is restarted. There isn't a way to start a connector remotely
Good to know
