POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

Name of the HTTP health check to update.

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. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats.

--description=DESCRIPTION

A textual description for the HTTP health check. Pass in an empty string to unset.

--healthy-threshold=HEALTHY_THRESHOLD

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

--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. Setting this to an empty string will clear any existing host value.

--proxy-header=PROXY_HEADER

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

The request path that this health check monitors. For example, /healthcheck.

--response=RESPONSE

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.

--timeout=TIMEOUT

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. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats.

--unhealthy-threshold=UNHEALTHY_THRESHOLD

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

At most one of these may be specified:

--global

If set, the HTTP health check is global.

--region=REGION

Region of the HTTP health check to update. If not specified, you may be prompted to select a region.
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:

$ gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

$ gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

$ gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

These flags configure the port that the health check monitors. If both --port and --port-name are specified, --port takes precedence.

--port=PORT

The TCP port number that this health check monitors.

--port-name=PORT_NAME

The port name that this health check monitors. By default, this is empty. Setting this to an empty string will clear any existing port-name value.

--use-serving-port

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

*

When health checking network endpoints in a Network Endpoint Group, use the port specified with each endpoint.

*

When health checking other backends, use the port or named port of the backend service.
