NAME
gcloud beta compute backend-services get-health - get backend health statuses from a backend service
SYNOPSIS
gcloud beta compute backend-services get-healthBACKEND_SERVICE_NAME[--global    |--region=REGION][--filter=EXPRESSION][--limit=LIMIT][--page-size=PAGE_SIZE][--sort-by=[FIELD,…]][--uri][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(BETA)gcloud beta compute backend-services get-healthis used to request the current health status of instances in a backend service.Every group in the service is checked and the health status of each configuredinstance is printed.

If a group contains names of instances that don't exist or instances thathaven't yet been pushed to the load-balancing system, they will not show up.Those that are listed asHEALTHY are ableto receive load-balanced traffic. Those that are marked asUNHEALTHY are either failing the configuredhealth-check or not responding to it.

Since the health checks are performed continuously and in a distributed manner,the state returned by this command is the most recent result of a vote ofseveral redundant health checks. Backend services that do not have a validglobal forwarding rule referencing it will not be health checked and so willhave no health status.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME
Name of the backend service to operate on.
FLAGS
At most one of these can be specified:
--global
If set, the backend service is global.
--region=REGION
Region of the backend service to operate on. Overrides the defaultcompute/region property value for this command invocation.
LIST COMMAND FLAGS
--filter=EXPRESSION
Apply a Boolean filterEXPRESSION to each resource itemto be listed. If the expression evaluatesTrue, then that item islisted. For more details and examples of filter expressions, run $gcloud topic filters. This flaginteracts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit.
--limit=LIMIT
Maximum number of resources to list. The default isunlimited. Thisflag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit.
--page-size=PAGE_SIZE
Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag specifies themaximum number of resources per page. The default is determined by the serviceif it supports paging, otherwise it isunlimited (no paging).Paging may be applied before or after--filter and--limit depending on the service.
--sort-by=[FIELD,…]
Comma-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The default orderis ascending. Prefix a field with ``~´´ for descending order on thatfield. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit.
--uri
Print a list of resource URIs instead of the default output, and change thecommand output to a list of URIs. If this flag is used with--format, the formatting is applied on this URI list. To displayURIs alongside other keys instead, use theuri() transform.
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.
