google.cloud.gcp_compute_http_health_check module – Creates a GCP HttpHealthCheck

Note

This module is part of the google.cloud collection (version 1.4.1).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install google.cloud. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

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

Note

The google.cloud collection will be removed from Ansible 12 due to violations of the Ansible inclusion requirements. The collection has unresolved sanity test failures. See the discussion thread for more information.

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	Comments
access_token string	An OAuth2 access token if credential type is accesstoken.
auth_kind string / required	The type of credential used. Choices: `"application"` `"machineaccount"` `"serviceaccount"` `"accesstoken"`
check_interval_sec aliases: check_interval_seconds integer	How often (in seconds) to send a health check. The default value is 5 seconds. Default: `5`
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	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.
