Configuring a Health Check

Function

This API is used to configure a health check.

Constraints

This API has the following constraints:

The security groups must have rules that allow traffic to 100.125.0.0/16.
If you want to use UDP for health checks, ensure that the protocol of the backend server group is UDP.
