Google Cloud Platform enables you to create or select a health check when you complete the back-end configuration of the load balancer in the console. A Health check decides whether back-end configurations respond properly to traffic.
You can use the same health check for configuring the TCP and UDP load balancers.
Procedure
Log on to the Google Cloud Platform.
Navigate to Compute Engine > Health checks.
Click Create a health check.
On the Create a health check page, provide the following information:
Name: Name for the health check.
Description: Description of the health check.
Scope: Choose Regional and select Region.
Protocol: Select TCP.
Port: Enter 443.
Check interval: Define the duration from the start of one probe to the start of the next one as 1 second.
Timeout: Define the duration for which Google Cloud waits for a response to a probe as 1 second.
Healthy threshold: Define the duration that Google Cloud waits for a response to a probe as 2.
Unhealthy threshold: Define the number of sequential probes that must fail for the VM instance to be considered unhealthy as 2.
