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 HTTPS health check request.

The default value is 80.

project

state

string

Whether the given object should exist in GCP

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

timeout_sec

aliases: timeout_seconds

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.

unhealthy_threshold

integer

A so-far healthy instance will be marked unhealthy after this many consecutive failures. The default value is 2.
