Disable the health check feature

Overview

This topic describes how to disable the health check feature for a Server Load Balancer(SLB) instance. If you disable the health check feature, requests may be distributed to unhealthy backend Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances. This causes service interruptions. We recommend that you enable the health check feature.

Note:You can disable the health check feature only for HTTP and HTTPS listeners. The health check feature for UDP and TCP listeners cannot be disabled.

Procedure

1. On the SLB management console page, select the SLB instance to be operated, click Configure Listener or click to enter the SLB instance, and on the monitoring page, click Modify Listener.
   
2. On the Configure List ener page, click Next to proceed to the Healt h Check wizard page.
   
3. Turn off the health check switch and click Next. On the wizard page that appears, click Submit and click OK.
