Specifies how a port is selected for health checking. Can be one of the
following values:
USE_FIXED_PORT: Specifies a port number explicitly using theport field in the health check. Supported by backend services
for passthrough load balancers and backend services for proxy load
balancers. Not supported by target pools. The health check supports all
backends supported by the backend service provided the backend can be
health checked. For example, GCE_VM_IP network endpoint
groups, GCE_VM_IP_PORT network endpoint groups, and instance
group backends.
USE_NAMED_PORT: Not supported.
USE_SERVING_PORT: Provides an indirect method of specifying
the health check port by referring to the backend service. Only supported
by backend services for proxy load balancers. Not supported by target
pools. Not supported by backend services for passthrough load balancers.
Supports all backends that can be health checked; for example,GCE_VM_IP_PORT network endpoint groups and instance group
backends.
For GCE_VM_IP_PORT network endpoint group backends, the health
check uses the port number specified for each endpoint in the network
endpoint group. For instance group backends, the health check uses the
port number determined by looking up the backend service's named port in
the instance group's list of named ports.
Check the PortSpecification enum for the list of possible values.
