# createTargetGroup

Available in VPC

Create a target group.

## Syntax

The `createTargetGroup` syntax is as follows:

```
./ncloud vloadbalancer createTargetGroup \
    --vpcNo <vpc-no> \
    --targetGroupProtocolTypeCode <TCP|UDP|PROXY_TCP|HTTP|HTTPS> \
    --healthCheckProtocolTypeCode <TCP|HTTP|HTTPS> \
    [--targetGroupName <target-group-name>] \
    [--targetTypeCode <VSVR>] \
    [--targetGroupPort <target-group-port>] \
    [--targetGroupDescription <target-group-description>] \
    [--healthCheckPort <health-check-port>] \
    [--healthCheckUrlPath <health-check-url-path>] \
    [--healthCheckHttpMethodTypeCode <HEAD|GET>] \
    [--healthCheckCycle <health-check-cycle>] \
    [--healthCheckUpThreshold <health-check-up-threshold>] \
    [--healthCheckDownThreshold <health-check-down-threshold>] \
    [--targetNoList <target-no-list>] \
    [--regionCode <KR|SGN|JPN>] \
    [--output <json|xml>]
```

## Options

This section describes the options available when running `createTargetGroup`.

### Required options

The following options are required for `createTargetGroup`.

| Options | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--vpcNo` | String | Required | VPC number - See [getVpcList](/docs/en/cli-vpc-vpcmanagement-getvpclist). |
| `--targetGroupProtocolTypeCode` | String | Required | Target group protocol type - `TCP` \| `UDP` \| `PROXY_TCP` \| `HTTP` \| `HTTPS` - Available load balancer types are limited based on the protocol used. - - Network Load Balancer: `TCP` \| `UDP` - - Network Proxy Load Balancer: `PROXY_TCP` - - Application Load Balancer: `HTTP` \| `HTTPS` |
| `--healthCheckProtocolTypeCode` | String | Required | Protocol used by the load balancer when performing health checks to verify the status of targets - `HTTP` \| `HTTPS` \| `TCP` - Available values are limited based on the protocol type of the target group. - `TCP`, `UDP`, `PROXY_TCP` protocols: `TCP`. - `HTTP`, `HTTPS` protocols: `HTTP`, `HTTPS`. |
| `--healthCheckHttpMethodTypeCode` | String | Conditional | HTTP method type to use when performing health checks - `HEAD` \| `GET` - Required if the target group's health check protocol type is `HTTP` or `HTTPS` |

### Optional options

These are the optional options for `createTargetGroup`. Options that are not specified will use their default values.

| Options | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--targetGroupName` | String | Optional | Target group name - Enter 3 to 30 characters using English letters, numbers, and the special character `-`. - The string must start with an English letter and end with an English letter or number. - If not entered, NAVER Cloud Platform will assign one automatically. |
| `--targetTypeCode` | String | Optional | Target type to be added to the target group - `VSVR`: Server (VPC) |
| `--targetGroupPort` | Integer | Optional | Port used by the target group - `1`-`65534` (default: `80`) |
| `--targetGroupDescription` | String | Optional | Description of the target group (byte) - 0-1000 |
| `--healthCheckPort` | Integer | Optional | Port used by the load balancer to perform health checks on the target - `1`-`65534` (default: `80`) |
| `--healthCheckUrlPath` | String | Optional | URL path to use for health checks - URL path starting with `/` - Default: `/` - Can only be set if the target group's health check protocol type is `HTTP` or `HTTPS`. |
| `--healthCheckCycle` | Integer | Optional | Health check interval (second) - `5`-`300` (default: `30`) |
| `--healthCheckUpThreshold` | Integer | Optional | Number of consecutive successful health checks required to determine that the target is in a normal state - `2`-`10` (default: `2`) |
| `--healthCheckDownThreshold` | Integer | Optional | Number of consecutive health check failures required to determine that the target status is abnormal - `2`-`10` (default: `2`) |
| `--targetNoList` | List | Optional | List of targets to bind to the target group - You can enter multiple items separated by spaces (e.g., `--targetNoList 34567890 34567891`). - See [getServerInstanceList](/docs/en/cli-vserver-server-getserverinstancelist). |

### Common options

For information about the options common to all `vloadbalancer` subcommands, see [Load Balancer (VPC) options](/docs/en/cli-vloadbalancer#%EC%98%B5%EC%85%98).

## Examples

If the request to create a target group is successful, the target group's configuration information is returned.

### Command

The command example is as follows:

```
./ncloud vloadbalancer createTargetGroup \
    --vpcNo 12345678 \
    --targetGroupProtocolTypeCode HTTP \
    --healthCheckProtocolTypeCode HTTP \
    --targetGroupName lb-test-tg \
    --targetGroupPort 80 \
    --targetGroupDescription "Test target group" \
    --healthCheckHttpMethodTypeCode GET \
    --regionCode KR \
    --output json
```

### Output
