REST Resource: httpHealthChecks

Resource: HttpHealthCheck

Represents a legacy HTTP Health Check resource.

Legacy HTTP health checks are now only required by target pool-based network load balancers. For all other load balancers, including backend service-based network load balancers, and for managed instance group auto-healing, you must use modern (non-legacy) health checks.

For more information, see Health checks overview.
