Configuring a Health Check

Function

This API is used to configure a health check.

Constraints

Note the following:

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.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

URI

POST /v3/{project_id}/elb/healthmonitors

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Specifies the project ID.

Request Parameters

Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
healthmonitor	Yes	CreateHealthMonitorOption object	Specifies the health check.

**Table 4** CreateHealthMonitorOption
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
admin_state_up	No	Boolean	Specifies the administrative status of the health check. The value can be: true (default): Health check is enabled. false: Health check is disabled.
delay	Yes	Integer	Specifies the interval between health checks, in seconds. The value ranges from 1 to 50.
domain_name	No	String	Specifies the domain name that HTTP requests are sent to during the health check. The value can contain only digits, letters, hyphens (-), and periods (.) and must start with a digit or letter. The value is left blank by default, indicating that the virtual IP address of the load balancer is used as the destination address of HTTP requests. This parameter is available only when type is set to HTTP or HTTPS.
expected_codes	No	String	Specifies the expected HTTP status code. The value options are as follows: A specific value, for example, 200 A list of values that are separated with commas (,), for example, 200, 202 A value range, for example, 200-204 If type is set to gRPC, the default value is 0. If type is set to other protocols, the default value is 200. This parameter will take effect only when type is set to HTTP, HTTPS or gRPC.
http_method	No	String	Specifies the HTTP method. The value can be GET, HEAD, or POST. The default value is GET. This parameter is available when type is set to HTTP or HTTPS. This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.
max_retries	Yes	Integer	Specifies the number of consecutive health checks when the health check result of a backend server changes from OFFLINE to ONLINE. The value ranges from 1 to 10.
max_retries_down	No	Integer	Specifies the number of consecutive health checks when the health check result of a backend server changes from ONLINE to OFFLINE. The value ranges from 1 to 10, and the default value is 3.
monitor_port	No	Integer	Specifies the port used for the health check. This parameter is left blank by default, indicating that a port of the backend server will be used by default. The port number ranges from 1 to 65535. NOTE: This parameter is mandatory if any_port_enable is set to true for a backend server group.
name	No	String	Specifies the health check name.
pool_id	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the backend server group for which the health check is configured.
project_id	No	String	Specifies the project ID.
timeout	Yes	Integer	Specifies the maximum time required for waiting for a response from the health check, in seconds. It is recommended that you set the value less than that of parameter delay.
type	Yes	String	Specifies the health check protocol. The value can be TCP, UDP_CONNECT, HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, or TLS. Note: If the protocol of the backend server is QUIC, the value can only be UDP_CONNECT. If the protocol of the backend server is UDP, the value can only be UDP_CONNECT. If the protocol of the backend server is TCP, the value can only be TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS. If the protocol of the backend server is HTTP, the value can only be TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, or TLS. If the protocol of the backend server is HTTPS, the value can only be TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, or TLS. If the protocol of the backend server is gRPC, the value can only be TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, or TLS. If the protocol of the backend server is TLS, the value can only be TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, gRPC, or TLS.
url_path	No	String	Specifies the HTTP request path for the health check. The value must start with a slash (/), and the default value is /. The value can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), slashes (/), periods (.), percentage signs (%), question marks (?), pound signs (#), ampersand signs (&), and the extended character set _;~!()[]@$^:',+. Note: This parameter is available only when type* is set to HTTP or HTTPS.
