Example YAML for GCE load balancers
Automatic endpoint test
Load balancers periodically check the health of your servers by connecting to a URL endpoint. If the server responds with an HTTP 200 OK status, it is considered healthy. The httpchk
setting allows you to specify which URL path should be checked.
The default value is /
(root path) but you can customize it to any valid endpoint in your application that returns a 200 status when healthy.
