google_compute_health_check resource

Syntax

A google_compute_health_check is used to test a Google HealthCheck resource

Beta Resource

This resource has beta fields available. To retrieve these fields, include beta: true in the constructor for the resource

Examples

describe google_compute_health_check(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', name: 'inspec-gcp-health-check') do
  it { should exist }
  its('timeout_sec') { should eq '10' }
  its('tcp_health_check.port') { should eq '80' }
end

describe google_compute_health_check(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', name: 'nonexistent') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Properties

Properties that can be accessed from the google_compute_health_check resource:

check_interval_sec
How often (in seconds) to send a health check. The default value is 5 seconds.
creation_timestamp
Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
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.
id
The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
name
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.
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.
unhealthy_threshold
A so-far healthy instance will be marked unhealthy after this many consecutive failures. The default value is 2.
type
Specifies the type of the healthCheck, either TCP, SSL, HTTP or HTTPS. If not specified, the default is TCP. Exactly one of the protocol-specific health check field must be specified, which must match type field.

Possible values:

  • TCP
  • SSL
  • HTTP
  • HTTPS
  • HTTP2
http_health_check
A nested object resource
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.
request_path
The request path of the HTTP health check request. The default value is /.
response
The bytes to match against the beginning of the response data. If left empty (the default value), any response will indicate health. The response data can only be ASCII.
port
The TCP port number for the HTTP health check request. The default value is 80.
port_name
Port name as defined in InstanceGroup#NamedPort#name. If both port and port_name are defined, port takes precedence.
proxy_header
Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend.

Possible values:

  • NONE
  • PROXY_V1
port_specification
Specifies how port is selected for health checking, can be one of the following values:
USE_FIXED_PORT
The port number in port is used for health checking.
USE_NAMED_PORT
The portName is used for health checking.
USE_SERVING_PORT
For NetworkEndpointGroup, the port specified for each network endpoint is used for health checking. For other backends, the port or named port specified in the Backend Service is used for health checking. If not specified, HTTP health check follows behavior specified in port and portName fields.
https_health_check
A nested object resource
host
The value of the host header in the HTTPS health check request. If left empty (default value), the public IP on behalf of which this health check is performed will be used.
request_path
The request path of the HTTPS health check request. The default value is /.
response
The bytes to match against the beginning of the response data. If left empty (the default value), any response will indicate health. The response data can only be ASCII.
port
The TCP port number for the HTTPS health check request. The default value is 443.
port_name
Port name as defined in InstanceGroup#NamedPort#name. If both port and port_name are defined, port takes precedence.
proxy_header
Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend.

Possible values:

  • NONE
  • PROXY_V1
port_specification
Specifies how port is selected for health checking, can be one of the following values:
USE_FIXED_PORT
The port number in port is used for health checking.
USE_NAMED_PORT
The portName is used for health checking.
USE_SERVING_PORT
For NetworkEndpointGroup, the port specified for each network endpoint is used for health checking. For other backends, the port or named port specified in the Backend Service is used for health checking. If not specified, HTTPS health check follows behavior specified in port and portName fields.
tcp_health_check
A nested object resource
request
The application data to send once the TCP connection has been established (default value is empty). If both request and response are empty, the connection establishment alone will indicate health. The request data can only be ASCII.
response
The bytes to match against the beginning of the response data. If left empty (the default value), any response will indicate health. The response data can only be ASCII.
port
The TCP port number for the TCP health check request. The default value is 443.
port_name
Port name as defined in InstanceGroup#NamedPort#name. If both port and port_name are defined, port takes precedence.
proxy_header
Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend.

Possible values:

  • NONE
  • PROXY_V1

Specifies how port is selected for health checking, can be one of the following values:
USE_FIXED_PORT
The port number in port is used for health checking.
USE_NAMED_PORT
The portName is used for health checking.
USE_SERVING_PORT
For NetworkEndpointGroup, the port specified for each network endpoint is used for health checking. For other backends, the port or named port specified in the Backend Service is used for health checking. If not specified, TCP health check follows behavior specified in port and portName fields.
ssl_health_check
A nested object resource
request
The application data to send once the SSL connection has been established (default value is empty). If both request and response are empty, the connection establishment alone will indicate health. The request data can only be ASCII.
response

proxy_header
Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend.

Possible values:

  • NONE
  • PROXY_V1
port_specification
Specifies how port is selected for health checking, can be one of the following values:
USE_FIXED_PORT
The port number in port is used for health checking.
USE_NAMED_PORT
The portName is used for health checking.
USE_SERVING_PORT
For NetworkEndpointGroup, the port specified for each network endpoint is used for health checking. For other backends, the port or named port specified in the Backend Service is used for health checking. If not specified, SSL health check follows behavior specified in port and portName fields.
http2_health_check
A nested object resource
host
The value of the host header in the HTTP2 health check request. If left empty (default value), the public IP on behalf of which this health check is performed will be used.

Port name as defined in InstanceGroup#NamedPort#name. If both port and port_name are defined, port takes precedence.
proxy_header
Specifies the type of proxy header to append before sending data to the backend.

Possible values:

  • NONE
  • PROXY_V1
port_specification
Specifies how port is selected for health checking, can be one of the following values:
USE_FIXED_PORT
The port number in port is used for health checking.
USE_NAMED_PORT
The portName is used for health checking.
USE_SERVING_PORT
For NetworkEndpointGroup, the port specified for each network endpoint is used for health checking. For other backends, the port or named port specified in the Backend Service is used for health checking. If not specified, HTTP2 health check follows behavior specified in port and portName fields.
log_config
(Beta only) Configure logging on this health check.

enable : Indicates whether or not to export logs. This is false by default, which means no health check logging will be done.
