Getting a list of target groups in a folderGetting a list of target groups in a folder

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, navigate to the folder dashboard and select Network Load Balancer.
  2. In the left-hand panel, select Target groups.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get a list of target groups in the default folder, run this command:

yc load-balancer target-group list

Result:

+----------------------+-------------+---------------------+-------------+--------------+
|          ID          |    NAME     |       CREATED       |  REGION ID  | TARGET COUNT |
+----------------------+-------------+---------------------+-------------+--------------+
| enp1d7t5pdea******** | test-group1 | 2023-02-03 07:17:56 | ru-central1 |            1 |
| ...                  |             |                     |             |              |
+----------------------+-------------+---------------------+-------------+--------------+

Use the list API method, providing the folder ID in the folderId parameter of your request.

Management console
CLI
Terraform
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing your target group.
  2. Select Network Load Balancer.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Target groups.
  4. Click your group name.
  5. The Overview page will show the target group details.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To find out the target group name or unique ID, get the list of target groups in the folder.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for getting information about a target group:

    yc load-balancer target-group --help
    
  2. Get information about a target group by specifying its name or ID:

    yc load-balancer target-group get <target_group_name_or_ID>
    

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To get information about a target group using Terraform:

  1. Add the data and output sections to the Terraform configuration file:

    data "yandex_lb_target_group" "my_target_group" {
      target_group_id = "<target_group_ID>"
    }
    
    output "target_group" {
      value = data.yandex_lb_target_group.my_target_group.created_at
    }
    

    Where:

    • data "yandex_lb_target_group": Description of the target group as a data source:
      • target_group_id: Target group ID.
    • output "target_group": Output variable with target group creation date information:
      • value: Return value.

    You can replace created_at with any other parameter to get the information you need. For more information about the yandex_lb_target_group data source properties, see this Terraform provider article.

  2. Create the resources:

    1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      
    3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.

    4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

    Terraform will create the required resources and display their output variables. To check the results, run this command:

    terraform output
    

    Result:

    target_group = "2024-03-20T23:43:56Z"
    

Use the get API method, providing the target group ID in the targetGroupId parameter of your request.

You can get the target group ID with the list of target groups in the folder.
