DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute http-health-checks create is used to create an 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://developers.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/ .

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

The name of the HTTP health check.

FLAGS

--check-interval CHECK_INTERVAL

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, “m” for minutes, and “h” for hours. The default value is “5s”.

--description DESCRIPTION

An optional, textual description for the HTTP health check.

--format FORMAT

Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of the available options will serialize the result of the command in the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are: "json", "text", "yaml".

--healthy-threshold HEALTHY_THRESHOLD

The number of consecutive successful health checks before an unhealthy instance is marked as healthy. The default is 2.

--help

Display detailed help.

--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

The TCP port number that this health check monitors. The default value is 80.

--project PROJECT

Google Cloud Platform project to use for this invocation.

--quiet

Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be raised.

--request-path REQUEST_PATH

The request path that this health check monitors. For example, “/healthcheck”. The default value is “/”.

--timeout TIMEOUT

If Google 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. Valid units for this flag are “s” for seconds, “m” for minutes, and “h” for hours. The default value is “5s”.

--unhealthy-threshold UNHEALTHY_THRESHOLD

The number of consecutive health check failures before a healthy instance is marked as unhealthy. The default is 2.

-h

Print a summary help and exit.
