# gcp_networkservices_service_lb_policy{% #gcp_networkservices_service_lb_policy %}

## `ancestors`{% #ancestors %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING` 

## `auto_capacity_drain`{% #auto_capacity_drain %}

**Type**: `STRUCT` **Provider name**: `autoCapacityDrain` **Description**: Optional. Configuration to automatically move traffic away for unhealthy IG/NEG for the associated Backend Service. 

- `enable`**Type**: `BOOLEAN`**Provider name**: `enable`**Description**: Optional. If set to 'True', an unhealthy IG/NEG will be set as drained. - An IG/NEG is considered unhealthy if less than 25% of the instances/endpoints in the IG/NEG are healthy. - This option will never result in draining more than 50% of the configured IGs/NEGs for the Backend Service.

## `create_time`{% #create_time %}

**Type**: `TIMESTAMP` **Provider name**: `createTime` **Description**: Output only. The timestamp when this resource was created. 

## `description`{% #description %}

**Type**: `STRING` **Provider name**: `description` **Description**: Optional. A free-text description of the resource. Max length 1024 characters. 

## `failover_config`{% #failover_config %}

**Type**: `STRUCT` **Provider name**: `failoverConfig` **Description**: Optional. Configuration related to health based failover. 

- `failover_health_threshold`**Type**: `INT32`**Provider name**: `failoverHealthThreshold`**Description**: Optional. The percentage threshold that a load balancer will begin to send traffic to failover backends. If the percentage of endpoints in a MIG/NEG is smaller than this value, traffic would be sent to failover backends if possible. This field should be set to a value between 1 and 99. The default value is 50 for Global external HTTP(S) load balancer (classic) and Proxyless service mesh, and 70 for others.

## `labels`{% #labels %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING` 

## `load_balancing_algorithm`{% #load_balancing_algorithm %}

**Type**: `STRING` **Provider name**: `loadBalancingAlgorithm` **Description**: Optional. The type of load balancing algorithm to be used. The default behavior is WATERFALL_BY_REGION. **Possible values**: 

- `LOAD_BALANCING_ALGORITHM_UNSPECIFIED` - The type of the loadbalancing algorithm is unspecified.
- `SPRAY_TO_WORLD` - Balance traffic across all backends across the world proportionally based on capacity.
- `SPRAY_TO_REGION` - Direct traffic to the nearest region with endpoints and capacity before spilling over to other regions and spread the traffic from each client to all the MIGs/NEGs in a region.
- `WATERFALL_BY_REGION` - Direct traffic to the nearest region with endpoints and capacity before spilling over to other regions. All MIGs/NEGs within a region are evenly loaded but each client might not spread the traffic to all the MIGs/NEGs in the region.
- `WATERFALL_BY_ZONE` - Attempt to keep traffic in a single zone closest to the client, before spilling over to other zones.
