- DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute health-checks createhttpsis used to create a non-legacy health check using the HTTPSprotocol. You can use this health check for Google Cloud load balancers or formanaged instance group autohealing. For more information, see the health checksoverview at:https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/health-check-concepts- POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME- Name of the HTTPS health check to create.
- FLAGS
--check-interval=CHECK_INTERVAL; default="5s"- How often to perform a health check for an instance. For example, specifying
will run the check every 10 seconds.The default value is10s. See $gcloud topic datetimes forinformation on duration formats.5s --description=DESCRIPTION- An optional string description for the HTTPS health check.
--enable-logging- Enable logging of health check probe results to Stackdriver. Logging is disabledby default.
Use --no-enable-logging to disable logging.
--healthy-threshold=HEALTHY_THRESHOLD; default=2- The number of consecutive successful health checks before an unhealthy instanceis marked as healthy. The default is 2.
--host=HOST- The value of the host header used for the health check. If unspecified, GoogleCloud sets the host header to the IP address of the load balancer's forwardingrule.
--proxy-header=PROXY_HEADER; default="NONE"- The type of proxy protocol header to be sent to the backend.
PROXY_HEADERmust be one of:NONE- No proxy header is added.
PROXY_V1- Adds the header "PROXY UNKNOWN\r\n".
--request-path=REQUEST_PATH; default="/"- The request path that this health check monitors. For example,
. The default value is``/´´./healthcheck --response=RESPONSE- When empty, status code of the response determines health. When not empty,presence of specified string in first 1024 characters of response bodydetermines health. Only ASCII characters allowed.
--source-regions=REGION,…,[…]- Define the list of Google Cloud regions from which health checks are performed.This option is supported only for global health checks that will be referencedby DNS routing policies. If specified, the --check-interval field should be atleast 30 seconds. The --proxy-header and --request fields (for TCP healthchecks) are not supported with this option.
If --source-regions is specified for a health check, then that health checkcannot be used by a backend service or by a managed instance group (forautohealing).
--timeout=TIMEOUT; default="5s"- If Google Compute Engine doesn't receive a healthy response from the instance bythe time specified by the value of this flag, the health check request isconsidered a failure. For example, specifying
will cause the check to wait for 10seconds before considering the request a failure. The default value is10s. See $gcloud topic datetimes forinformation on duration formats.5s --unhealthy-threshold=UNHEALTHY_THRESHOLD; default=2- The number of consecutive health check failures before a healthy instance ismarked as unhealthy. The default is 2.
--weight-report-mode=WEIGHT_REPORT_MODE- Defines whether Weighted Load Balancing is enabled.
WEIGHT_REPORT_MODEmust be one of:ENABLE,DISABLE,DRY_RUN. - At most one of these can be specified:
--global- If set, the HTTPS health check is global.
--region=REGION- Region of the HTTPS health check to create. If not specified, you might beprompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/regiongcloudconfigsetcompute/regionREGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloudcomputeregionslistTo unset the property, run:
gcloudconfigunsetcompute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION
- These flags configure the port that the health check monitors. If none isspecified, the default port of 80 is used. If both
--portand--port-nameare specified,--porttakes precedence.--port=PORT; default=80- The TCP port number that this health check monitors.
--port-name=PORT_NAME- The port name that this health check monitors. By default, this is empty.
--use-serving-port- If given, use the "serving port" for health checks:
- When health checking network endpoints in a Network Endpoint Group, use the portspecified with each endpoint.
--use-serving-portmust be used whenusing a Network Endpoint Group as a backend as this flag specifies theportSpecificationoption for a Health Check object. - When health checking other backends, use the port or named port of the backendservice.
- When health checking network endpoints in a Network Endpoint Group, use the portspecified with each endpoint.
- GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
- These flags are available to all commands:
--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.Run
$gcloud helpfor details. - NOTES
- This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If thiscommand fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early accessallowlist. These variants are also available:
