Synopsis

An HttpHealthCheck resource. This resource defines a template for how individual VMs should be checked for health, via HTTP.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.6
requests >= 2.18.4
google-auth >= 1.3.0

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth_kind string / required	Choices: application machineaccount serviceaccount	The type of credential used.
check_interval_sec -	Default: "5"	How often (in seconds) to send a health check. The default value is 5 seconds. aliases: check_interval_seconds
description -		An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
healthy_threshold -		A so-far unhealthy instance will be marked healthy after this many consecutive successes. The default value is 2.
host -		The value of the host header in the HTTP health check request. If left empty (default value), the public IP on behalf of which this health check is performed will be used.
name - / required		Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
port -		The TCP port number for the HTTP health check request. The default value is 80.
project string		The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
request_path -		The request path of the HTTP health check request. The default value is /.
scopes list		Array of scopes to be used.
service_account_contents string		A string representing the contents of a Service Account JSON file. This should not be passed in as a dictionary, but a string that has the exact contents of a service account json file (valid JSON)
service_account_email string		An optional service account email address if machineaccount is selected and the user does not wish to use the default email.
service_account_file path		The path of a Service Account JSON file if serviceaccount is selected as type.
state -	Choices: present ← absent	Whether the given object should exist in GCP
timeout_sec -		How long (in seconds) to wait before claiming failure. The default value is 5 seconds. It is invalid for timeoutSec to have greater value than checkIntervalSec. aliases: timeout_seconds
unhealthy_threshold -		A so-far healthy instance will be marked unhealthy after this many consecutive failures. The default value is 2.
