Turn off the Amazon EBS health checks for an Auto Scaling group

The following topic describes how to turn off Amazon EBS health checks for an Auto Scaling group. If you don't require Amazon EBS health checks anymore, use the following procedure to turn them off.

Console
Turning off Amazon EBS health checks for a group

  1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/, and choose Auto Scaling Groups from the navigation pane.

  2. Select the check box next to an existing group.

    A split pane opens up in the bottom of the Auto Scaling groups page.

  3. On the Details tab, choose Health checks, Edit.

  4. For Health checks, Additional health check types, deselect Turn on Amazon EBS health checks.

  5. Choose Update.

AWS CLI
Turning off Amazon EBS health checks for a group

To update the health checks on an Auto Scaling group so that it no longer uses Amazon EBS health checks, use the update-auto-scaling-group command. Include the --health-check-type option and a value of EC2.

aws autoscaling update-auto-scaling-group --auto-scaling-group-name my-asg \
  --health-check-type "EC2"

To turn off Amazon EBS health checks without turning off other health check types (such as Elastic Load Balancing), you must specify them instead of EC2. For example, for Elastic Load Balancing health checks, specify ELB for the --health-check-type option.

Value names are case sensitive.
