Do not validate the certificate when monitor use HTTPS. This parameter is currently only valid for HTTP and HTTPS monitors.

consecutive_down: Optional[int]

expected_codes: Optional[str]

The expected HTTP response code or code range of the health check. This parameter is only valid for HTTP and HTTPS monitors.

follow_redirects: Optional[bool]

Follow redirects if returned by the origin. This parameter is only valid for HTTP and HTTPS monitors.

interval: Optional[int]

probe_zone: Optional[str]

Assign this monitor to emulate the specified zone while probing. This parameter is only valid for HTTP and HTTPS monitors.

retries: Optional[int]

The number of retries to attempt in case of a timeout before marking the origin as unhealthy. Retries are attempted immediately.
