lb/Verify Health Check Logging Enabled

Product: Load balancing
Step Type: GATEWAY

Description

None

Success Reason

Health check logging is enabled for health check {hc_url}.

Uncertain Reason

Logging is not enabled for health check {hc_url}, making troubleshooting considerably harder. Without logs, visibility into health check state changes and probe details is lacking, hindering the ability to diagnose the cause of failures.

Uncertain Remediation

To facilitate troubleshooting, enable logging for the health check using the following gcloud command:

gcloud compute health-checks update {protocol} {hc_name} {additional_flags} --enable-logging

This will log any future changes in health status, but won’t show past activity. Note that new health check logs will only appear when a health state transition occurs.
