python >= 2.6
requests >= 2.18.4
google-auth >= 1.3.0

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth_kind required	Choices: machineaccount serviceaccount application	The type of credential used.
check_interval_sec	Default: 5	How often (in seconds) to send a health check. The default value is 5 seconds. aliases: check_interval_seconds
description		An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
healthy_threshold		A so-far unhealthy instance will be marked healthy after this many consecutive successes. The default value is 2.
host		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 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.

port		The TCP port number for the HTTP health check request. The default value is 80.
project	Default: None	The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
request_path		The request path of the HTTP health check request. The default value is /.
scopes		Array of scopes to be used.
service_account_email		An optional service account email address if machineaccount is selected and the user does not wish to use the default email.
service_account_file		The path of a Service Account JSON file if serviceaccount is selected as type.
state	Choices: present ← absent	Whether the given object should exist in GCP
timeout_sec		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. aliases: timeout_seconds
unhealthy_threshold		A so-far healthy instance will be marked unhealthy after this many consecutive failures. The default value is 2.
