Create Health Check
route53_create_health_check | R Documentation |
Creates a new health check¶
Description¶
Creates a new health check.
For information about adding health checks to resource record sets, see
HealthCheckId
in change_resource_record_sets
.
ELB Load Balancers
If you're registering EC2 instances with an Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancer, do not create Amazon Route 53 health checks for the EC2 instances. When you register an EC2 instance with a load balancer, you configure settings for an ELB health check, which performs a similar function to a Route 53 health check.
Private Hosted Zones
You can associate health checks with failover resource record sets in a private hosted zone. Note the following:
-
Route 53 health checkers are outside the VPC. To check the health of an endpoint within a VPC by IP address, you must assign a public IP address to the instance in the VPC.
-
You can configure a health checker to check the health of an external resource that the instance relies on, such as a database server.
-
You can create a CloudWatch metric, associate an alarm with the metric, and then create a health check that is based on the state of the alarm. For example, you might create a CloudWatch metric that checks the status of the Amazon EC2
StatusCheckFailed
metric, add an alarm to the metric, and then create a health check that is based on the state of the alarm. For information about creating CloudWatch metrics and alarms by using the CloudWatch console, see the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
Usage¶
Arguments¶
CallerReference
[required] A unique string that identifies the request and that allows you to retry a failed
create_health_check
request without the risk of creating two identical health checks:If you send a
create_health_check
request with the sameCallerReference
and settings as a previous request, and if the health check doesn't exist, Amazon Route 53 creates the health check. If the health check does exist, Route 53 returns the settings for the existing health check.If you send a
create_health_check
request with the sameCallerReference
as a deleted health check, regardless of the settings, Route 53 returns aHealthCheckAlreadyExists
error.If you send a
create_health_check
request with the sameCallerReference
as an existing health check but with different settings, Route 53 returns aHealthCheckAlreadyExists
error.If you send a
create_health_check
request with a uniqueCallerReference
but settings identical to an existing health check, Route 53 creates the health check.
Route 53 does not store the
CallerReference
for a deleted health check indefinitely. TheCallerReference
for a deleted health check will be deleted after a number of days.HealthCheckConfig
[required] A complex type that contains settings for a new health check.
