NAME
gcloud compute http-health-checks create - create a legacy HTTP health check
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute http-health-checks create NAME [--check-interval=CHECK_INTERVAL; default="5s"] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--healthy-threshold=HEALTHY_THRESHOLD; default=2] [--host=HOST] [--port=PORT; default=80] [--request-path=REQUEST_PATH; default="/"] [--timeout=TIMEOUT; default="5s"] [--unhealthy-threshold=UNHEALTHY_THRESHOLD; default=2] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
Legacy HTTP health checks are required if you want to implement health checking for a target pool backend of an external passthrough Network Load Balancer. Though you can use legacy HTTP health checks in certain other Google Cloud Platform load balancing configurations and for managed instance group autohealing, you should consider a non-legacy HTTP health check created with health-checks create http instead.

For more information about the differences between legacy and non-legacy health checks see: https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/health-check-concepts#category_and_protocol

For information about what type of health check to use for a particular load balancer, see: https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/health-check-concepts#lb_guide
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME
Name of the HTTP health check to create.
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. The default value is 5s. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats.
--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 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.
--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 Compute Engine doesn't receive an HTTP 200 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. The default value is 5s. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats.
--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.
