EC2 instance attached to a load balancer is showing Unhealthy status


I created a load balancer and assigned it one of the running EC2 instance. After creation, I navigated to Target Group section in the AWS Console under Load Balancing and when I selected the target group that was assigned to the load balancer, it shows registered instance status as "Unhealthy" and there was a message above registered instance pane that says "None of these Availability Zones contains a healthy target. Requests are being routed to all targets". While creating the load balancer, I selected all the subnets (availability zones). settings I used for health check are mentioned below,

So why does my registered instance status as "Unhealthy" and how can I rectify/resolve that to change the status to "In-service"?


Solution

  • Unhealthy indicates that the health check is failing for the instance.
