To create a global TCP health check "tcp-health-check", run:
gdcloud compute health-checks create tcp tcp-health-check \
--port=8080 \
--global
To create a zonal TCP health check "tcp-health-check", run:
gdcloud compute health-checks create tcp tcp-health-check \
--port=8080
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--check-interval int Amount of time in seconds from the start of one probe to the start of the next one. Defaults to 5. (default 5)
--global If set, the global health check object is created.
--healthy-threshold int Number of sequential probes that must succeed for the endpoint to be considered healthy. Defaults to 2. (default 2)
--port int Port to use for the health check. If not specified, the backend service's port is used.
--timeout int Time (in seconds) to wait before claiming failure. Defaults to 5. (default 5)
--unhealthy-threshold int Number of sequential probes that must fail for the endpoint to be considered unhealthy. Defaults to 2. (default 2)
--zone string Zone to use for this invocation. To preset the zone flag for all commands that require it, run: "gdcloud config set core/zone ZONE". The zone flag is available only in multi-zone environments.
GDCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --configuration, --format, --help, --project, --quiet.
