Method: healthChecks.patch

Updates a HealthCheck resource in the specified project using the data included in the request. This method supports PATCH semantics and uses the JSON merge patch format and processing rules.

HTTP request

PATCH https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/global/healthChecks/{healthCheck}

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.
healthCheck

string

Name of the HealthCheck resource to patch.

Query parameters

Parameters
requestId

string

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

The request body contains data with the following structure:

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in 3339 text format.
name

string

Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. For example, a name that is 1-63 characters long, matches the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?, and otherwise complies with RFC1035. This regular expression describes a name where the first character is a lowercase letter, and all following characters are a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which isn't a dash.

Response body

Represents an Operation resource.

Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:

You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses.

Operations can be global, regional or zonal.

  • For global operations, use the globalOperations resource.
  • For regional operations, use the regionOperations resource.
  • For zonal operations, use the zoneOperations resource.

For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.

Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

creationTimestamp

string

[Deprecated] This field is deprecated.
name

string

[Output Only] Name of the operation.
zone

string

[Output Only] The URL of the zone where the operation resides. Only applicable when performing per-zone operations.
clientOperationId

string

[Output Only] The value of requestId if you provided it in the request. Not present otherwise.

progress

integer

[Output Only] An optional progress indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. There is no requirement that this be linear or support any granularity of operations. This should not be used to guess when the operation will be complete. This number should monotonically increase as the operation progresses.
insertTime

startTime

string

[Output Only] The time that this operation was started by the server. This value is in RFC3339 text format.

error

object

[Output Only] If errors are generated during processing of the operation, this field will be populated.
error.errors[]

object

[Output Only] The array of errors encountered while processing this operation.
error.errors[].code

string

[Output Only] The error type identifier for this error.
error.errors[].location

string

[Output Only] Indicates the field in the request that caused the error. This property is optional.
error.errors[].message

string

[Output Only] An optional, human-readable error message.
error.errors[].errorDetails[]

object

[Output Only] An optional list of messages that contain the error details. There is a set of defined message types to use for providing details.The syntax depends on the error code. For example, QuotaExceededInfo will have details when the error code is QUOTA_EXCEEDED.
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo

object
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.reason

string

The reason of the error. This is a constant value that identifies the proximate cause of the error. Error reasons are unique within a particular domain of errors. This should be at most 63 characters and match a regular expression of [A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+[A-Z0-9], which represents UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.domain

string

The logical grouping to which the "reason" belongs. The error domain is typically the registered service name of the tool or product that generates the error. Example: "pubsub.googleapis.com". If the error is generated by some common infrastructure, the error domain must be a globally unique value that identifies the infrastructure. For Google API infrastructure, the error domain is "googleapis.com".
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.metadatas

map (key: string, value: string)

Additional structured details about this error.

Keys must match /[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9-_]+/ but should ideally be lowerCamelCase. Also they must be limited to 64 characters in length. When identifying the current value of an exceeded limit, the units should be contained in the key, not the value. For example, rather than {"instanceLimit": "100/request"}, should be returned as, {"instanceLimitPerRequest": "100"}, if the client exceeds the number of instances that can be created in a single (batch) request.
