# TargetGroupProperties

## Properties

\| **algorithm** | **String** | The balancing algorithm. A balancing algorithm consists of predefined rules with the logic that a load balancer uses to distribute network traffic between servers. - **Round Robin**: Targets are served alternately according to their weighting. - **Least Connection**: The target with the least active connection is served. - **Random**: The targets are served based on a consistent pseudorandom algorithm. - **Source IP**: It is ensured that the same client IP address reaches the same target. | |

\| **health\_check** | [**TargetGroupHealthCheck**](/ruby-sdk/models/targetgrouphealthcheck.md) | | \[optional] |

\| **http\_health\_check** | [**TargetGroupHttpHealthCheck**](/ruby-sdk/models/targetgrouphttphealthcheck.md) | | \[optional] |

\| **name** | **String** | The target group name. | |

\| **protocol** | **String** | The forwarding protocol. Only the value 'HTTP' is allowed. | |

\| **targets** | [**Array\<TargetGroupTarget>**](/ruby-sdk/models/targetgrouptarget.md) | Array of items in the collection. | \[optional] |
