DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute backend-services get-health is 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 configured instance is printed.

If a group contains names of instances that don’t exist or instances that haven’t yet been pushed to the load-balancing system, they will not show up. Those that are listed as “HEALTHY” are able to receive load-balanced traffic. Those that are marked as “UNHEALTHY” are either failing the configured health-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 of several redundant health checks. Backend services that do not have a valid global forwarding rule referencing it will not be health checked and so will have no health status.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
