The following is an example response for a target whose target group is not specified in an action for a listener. This target can't receive traffic from the load balancer.

Output::

  {
    "TargetHealthDescriptions": [
        {
            "Target": {
                "Id": "i-0f76fade",
                "Port": 80
            },
            "TargetHealth": {
                "State": "unused",
                "Reason": "Target.NotInUse",
                "Description": "Given target group is not configured to receive traffic from ELB"
            }
        }
    ]
  }

The following is an example response for a target who target group was just specified in an action for a listener. The target is still being registered.

Output::

  {
    "TargetHealthDescriptions": [
        {

                "Id": "i-0f76fade",
                "Port": 80
            },
            "TargetHealth": {
                "State": "initial",
                "Reason": "Elb.RegistrationInProgress",
                "Description": "Target registration is in progress"
            }

The following is an example response for an unhealthy target.
