.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fBgcloud compute health\-checks create http\fR is used to create a non\-legacy
health check using the HTTP protocol. You can use this health check for Google
Cloud load balancers or for managed instance group autohealing. For more
information, see the health checks overview at:
https://cloud.google.com/load\-balancing/docs/health\-check\-concepts



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fINAME\fR

Name of the HTTP health check to create.


.RE
.sp

.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-check\-interval\fR=\fICHECK_INTERVAL\fR; default="5s"

How often to perform a health check for an instance. For example, specifying
\f5\fI10s\fR\fR will run the check every 10 seconds. The default value is
\f5\fI5s\fR\fR. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration
formats.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-description\fR=\fIDESCRIPTION\fR

An optional string description for the HTTP health check.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-enable\-logging\fR

Enable logging of health check probe results to Stackdriver. Logging is disabled
by default.

Use \-\-no\-enable\-logging to disable logging.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-healthy\-threshold\fR=\fIHEALTHY_THRESHOLD\fR; default=2

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

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-host\fR=\fIHOST\fR

The value of the host header used for the health check. If unspecified, Google
Cloud sets the host header to the IP address of the load balancer's forwarding
rule.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-proxy\-header\fR=\fIPROXY_HEADER\fR; default="NONE"

The type of proxy protocol header to be sent to the backend. \fIPROXY_HEADER\fR
must be one of:

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fBNONE\fR
No proxy header is added.
.TP 2m
\fBPROXY_V1\fR
Adds the header "PROXY UNKNOWN\er\en".
.RE
.sp


.TP 2m
\fB\-\-request\-path\fR=\fIREQUEST_PATH\fR; default="/"

The request path that this health check monitors. For example,
\f5\fI/healthcheck\fR\fR. The default value is ``/''.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-response\fR=\fIRESPONSE\fR

When empty, status code of the response determines health. When not empty,
presence of specified string in first 1024 characters of response body
determines health. Only ASCII characters allowed.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-source\-regions\fR=\fIREGION\fR,...,[...]

Define the list of Google Cloud regions from which health checks are performed.
This option is supported only for global health checks that will be referenced
by DNS routing policies. If specified, the \-\-check\-interval field should be
at least 30 seconds. The \-\-proxy\-header and \-\-request fields (for TCP
health checks) are not supported with this option.

If \-\-source\-regions is specified for a health check, then that health check
cannot be used by a backend service or by a managed instance group (for
autohealing).

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-timeout\fR=\fITIMEOUT\fR; 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 \f5\fI10s\fR\fR will cause the
check to wait for 10 seconds before considering the request a failure. The
default value is \f5\fI5s\fR\fR. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on
duration formats.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-unhealthy\-threshold\fR=\fIUNHEALTHY_THRESHOLD\fR; default=2

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

.TP 2m

At most one of these can be specified:


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-global\fR

If set, the HTTP health check is global.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-region\fR=\fIREGION\fR

Region of the HTTP health check to create. If not specified, you might be
prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
\f5\fIcompute/region\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/region REGION
.RE

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute regions list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/region
.RE

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION\fR\fR.

.RE
.sp
.TP 2m

These flags configure the port that the health check monitors. If none is
specified, the default port of 80 is used. If both \f5\-\-port\fR and
\f5\-\-port\-name\fR are specified, \f5\-\-port\fR takes precedence.


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-port\fR=\fIPORT\fR; default=80

The TCP port number that this health check monitors.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-port\-name\fR=\fIPORT_NAME\fR

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

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-use\-serving\-port\fR

If given, use the "serving port" for health checks:

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
When health checking network endpoints in a Network Endpoint Group, use the port
specified with each endpoint. \f5\-\-use\-serving\-port\fR must be used when
using a Network Endpoint Group as a backend as this flag specifies the
\f5portSpecification\fR option for a Health Check object.
.IP "\(bu" 2m
When health checking other backends, use the port or named port of the backend
service.
