Indicates whether health checks are enabled.

health_check_interval_seconds

The approximate amount of time, in seconds, between health checks of an individual target.

health_check_timeout_seconds

The amount of time, in seconds, during which no response means a failed health check.

healthy_threshold_counts

unhealthy_threshold_counts

The number of consecutive health check failures required before considering the target unhealthy.

protocol_versions

For HTTP or HTTPS protocols, the protocol version. Valid values are GRPC, HTTP1, and HTTP2.

Examples

Ensure a target group ARN is available.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups  do
  its('target_group_names') { should include 'TARGET_GROUP_NAME' }
end

Ensure that the target group name exists.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups  do
    its('protocol_versions') { should include 'HTTP1' }
end

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

The controls will pass if the describe method returns at least one result.

exist

Use should to test that the entity exists.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups  do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test the entity does not exist.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups do
  it { should_not exist }
end

be_available

Use should to check if the work_group name is available.

describe aws_elasticloadbalancingv2_target_groups  do
  it { should be_available }
end

AWS Permissions

Your Principal will need the ElasticLoadBalancingV2:Client:DescribeTargetGroupsOutput action with Effect set to Allow.
