Compute Engine health check

Docs > DDSQL Reference > Data Directory > Compute Engine health check

A Compute Engine health check in Google Cloud continuously monitors the status of virtual machine instances or backend services. It sends periodic probes to determine if instances are healthy and can handle traffic. If an instance fails the health check, it is automatically removed from load balancing until it recovers. This ensures high availability and reliable application performance.

Fields

ID	Type	Data Type	Description
_key	core	string
ancestors	core	array<string>
check_interval_sec	core	int64	How often (in seconds) to send a health check. The default value is 5 seconds.
creation_timestamp	core	timestamp	Output only. [Output Only] Creation timestamp in3339 text format.
datadog_display_name	core	string
description	core	string	An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
grpc_health_check	core	json
healthy_threshold	core	int64	A so-far unhealthy instance will be marked healthy after this many consecutive successes. The default value is 2.
http2_health_check	core	json
http_health_check	core	json
https_health_check	core	json
id	core	string	[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
kind	core	string	Output only. Type of the resource.
labels	core	array<string>
log_config	core	json	Configure logging on this health check.
name	core	string	Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply withRFC1035. For example, a name that is 1-63 characters long, matches the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?`, and otherwise complies with RFC1035. This regular expression describes a name where the first character is a lowercase letter, and all following characters are a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which isn't a dash.
organization_id	core	string
parent	core	string
project_id	core	string
project_number	core	string
region	core	string	Output only. [Output Only] Region where the health check resides. Not applicable to global health checks.
region_id	core	string
resource_name	core	string
self_link	core	string	[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
source_regions	core	array<string>	The list of cloud regions from which health checks are performed. If any regions are specified, then exactly 3 regions should be specified. The region names must be valid names of Google Cloud regions. This can only be set for global health check. If this list is non-empty, then there are restrictions on what other health check fields are supported and what other resources can use this health check: - SSL, HTTP2, and GRPC protocols are not supported. - The TCP request field is not supported. - The proxyHeader field for HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP is not supported. - The checkIntervalSec field must be at least 30. - The health check cannot be used with BackendService nor with managed instance group auto-healing.
ssl_health_check	core	json
tags	core	hstore_csv
tcp_health_check	core	json
timeout_sec	core	int64	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.
type	core	string	Specifies the type of the healthCheck, either TCP,SSL, HTTP, HTTPS,HTTP2 or GRPC. Exactly one of the protocol-specific health check fields must be specified, which must matchtype field.
unhealthy_threshold	core	int64	A so-far healthy instance will be marked unhealthy after this many consecutive failures. The default value is 2.
zone_id	core	string
