- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute health-checks update tcpis used to update an existing TCP health check. Only arguments passed in will be updated on the health check. Other attributes will remain unaffected. - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
NAME- Name of the TCP health check to update.
- FLAGS
-
--check-interval=CHECK_INTERVAL-
How often to perform a health check for an instance. For example, specifying
will run the check every 10 seconds. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats.10s --description=DESCRIPTION- A textual description for the TCP health check. Pass in an empty string to unset.
--enable-logging-
Enable logging of health check probe results to Stackdriver. Logging is disabled
by default.
Use --no-enable-logging to disable logging.
--healthy-threshold=HEALTHY_THRESHOLD- The number of consecutive successful health checks before an unhealthy instance is marked as healthy.
--proxy-header=PROXY_HEADER-
The type of proxy protocol header to be sent to the backend.
PROXY_HEADERmust be one of:NONE- No proxy header is added.
PROXY_V1- Adds the header "PROXY UNKNOWN\r\n".
--request=REQUEST-
An optional string of up to 1024 characters to send once the health check TCP
connection has been established. The health checker then looks for a reply of
the string provided in the
--responsefield.If
--responseis not configured, the health checker does not wait for a response and regards the probe as successful if the TCP or SSL handshake was successful.Setting this to an empty string will clear any existing request value.
--response=RESPONSE-
An optional string of up to 1024 characters that the health checker expects to
receive from the instance. If the response is not received exactly, the health
check probe fails. If
--responseis configured, but not--request, the health checker will wait for a response anyway. Unless your system automatically sends out a message in response to a successful handshake, only configure--responseto match an explicit--request. Setting this to an empty string will clear any existing response value. --source-regions=REGION,…,[…]-
Define the list of Google Cloud regions from which health checks are performed.
This option is supported only for global health checks that will be referenced
by DNS routing policies. If specified, the --check-interval field should be at
least 30 seconds. The --proxy-header and --request fields (for TCP health
checks) are not supported with this option.
If --source-regions is specified for a health check, then that health check cannot be used by a backend service or by a managed instance group (for autohealing).
--timeout=TIMEOUT-
If Google Compute Engine doesn't receive a healthy response from the instance by
the time specified by the value of this flag, the health check request is
considered a failure. For example, specifying
will cause the check to wait for 10 seconds before considering the request a failure. See $ gcloud topic datetimes for information on duration formats.10s --unhealthy-threshold=UNHEALTHY_THRESHOLD- The number of consecutive health check failures before a healthy instance is marked as unhealthy.
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--global- If set, the TCP health check is global.
--region=REGION-
Region of the TCP health check to update. If not specified, you might be
prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
property:compute/regiongcloud config set compute/region REGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION
-
These flags configure the port that the health check monitors. If both
--portand--port-nameare specified,--porttakes precedence.--port=PORT- The TCP port number that this health check monitors.
--port-name=PORT_NAME- The port name that this health check monitors. By default, this is empty. Setting this to an empty string will clear any existing port-name value.
--use-serving-port-
If given, use the "serving port" for health checks:
-
When health checking network endpoints in a Network Endpoint Group, use the port
specified with each endpoint.
--use-serving-portmust be used when using a Network Endpoint Group as a backend as this flag specifies theportSpecificationoption for a Health Check object. - When health checking other backends, use the port or named port of the backend service.
-
When health checking network endpoints in a Network Endpoint Group, use the port
specified with each endpoint.
- GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands:
--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.Run
$ gcloud helpfor details. - NOTES
-
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,
you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access
allowlist. These variants are also available:
