NAME

gcloud compute health-checks create http - create a HTTP health check to monitor load balanced instances

SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute health-checks create http NAME [--check-interval=CHECK_INTERVAL; default="5s"] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--healthy-threshold=HEALTHY_THRESHOLD; default="2"] [--host=HOST] [--port=PORT; default="80"] [--port-name=PORT_NAME] [--proxy-header=PROXY_HEADER; default="NONE"] [--request-path=REQUEST_PATH; default="/"] [--timeout=TIMEOUT; default="5s"] [--unhealthy-threshold=UNHEALTHY_THRESHOLD; default="2"] [GLOBAL-FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute health-checks create http is used to create a HTTP health check. HTTP health checks monitor instances in a load balancer controlled by a target pool. All arguments to the command are optional except for the name of the health check. For more information on load balancing, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing-and-autoscaling/

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

    NAME
        The name of the HTTP health check.

FLAGS

    --check-interval=CHECK_INTERVAL; default="5s"
        How often to perform a health check for an instance. For example, specifying 10s will run the check every 10 seconds. Valid units for this flag are ``s'' for seconds and ``m'' for minutes. The default value is 5s.

    --description=DESCRIPTION
        An optional, textual description for the HTTP health check.

    --healthy-threshold=HEALTHY_THRESHOLD; default="2"
        The number of consecutive successful health checks before an unhealthy instance is marked as healthy. The default is 2.

    --host=HOST
        The value of the host header used in this HTTP health check request. By default, this is empty and Google Compute Engine automatically sets the host header in health requests to the same external IP address as the forwarding rule associated with the target pool.

    --port=PORT; default="80"
        The TCP port number that this health check monitors. The default value is 80.

    --port-name=PORT_NAME
        The port name that this health check monitors. By default, this is empty.

    --proxy-header=PROXY_HEADER; default="NONE"
        The type of proxy protocol header to be sent to the backend. PROXY_HEADER must 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, /healthcheck. The default value is ``/''.

    --timeout=TIMEOUT; default="5s"
        If Google Compute Engine doesn't receive a healthy response from the instance by the time specified by the value of this flag, the health check request is considered a failure. For example, specifying 10s will cause the check to wait for 10 seconds before considering the request a failure. Valid units for this flag are ``s'' for seconds and ``m'' for minutes. The default value is 5s.

    --unhealthy-threshold=UNHEALTHY_THRESHOLD; default="2"
        The number of consecutive health check failures before a healthy instance is marked as unhealthy. The default is 2.
