xcsh_dns_lb_health_check (Resource)

Manages DNS Load Balancer Health Check in a given namespace. If one already exist it will give a error. in F5 Distributed Cloud.

~> Note For more information about this resource, please refer to the F5 XC API Documentation.

# DNSLBHealthCheck Resource Example
# Manages DNS Load Balancer Health Check in a given namespace.
terraform {
required_version = ">= 1.0"
required_providers {

}

-> Syntax Rule: This provider uses OneOf groups for mutually exclusive options. Fields documented as “Optional Block” use empty block syntax field_name {}, never field_name = true. Boolean attributes (like add_hsts, http_redirect) use = true/false as normal.
