To use it in a playbook, specify: google.cloud.gcp_compute_http_health_check.

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 integer	Default: "5"	How often (in seconds) to send a health check. The default value is 5 seconds. aliases: check_interval_seconds
description string		An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
env_type string		Specifies which Ansible environment you're running this module within. This should not be set unless you know what you're doing. This only alters the User Agent string for any API requests.
healthy_threshold integer		A so-far unhealthy instance will be marked healthy after this many consecutive successes. The default value is 2.
host string		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 string / 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 integer		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 string		The request path of the HTTP health check request. The default value is /.
scopes list / elements=string		Array of scopes to be used
service_account_contents jsonarg		The contents of a Service Account JSON file, either in a dictionary or as a JSON string that represents it.
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 string	Choices: present ← absent	Whether the given object should exist in GCP
timeout_sec integer		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 integer		A so-far healthy instance will be marked unhealthy after this many consecutive failures. The default value is 2.

• Adding Health Checks: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/health-checks#legacy_health_checks

• for authentication, you can set service_account_file using the gcp_service_account_file env variable.

• for authentication, you can set service_account_contents using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CONTENTS env variable.

• For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL env variable.

• For authentication, you can set auth_kind using the GCP_AUTH_KIND env variable.

• For authentication, you can set scopes using the GCP_SCOPES env variable.

• Environment variables values will only be used if the playbook values are not set.

• The service_account_email and service_account_file options are mutually exclusive.
