~> Note aws_alb_target_group is known as aws_lb_target_group. The functionality is identical.

Provides information about a Load Balancer Target Group.

This data source can prove useful when a module accepts an LB Target Group as an input variable and needs to know its attributes. It can also be used to get the ARN of an LB Target Group for use in other resources, given LB Target Group name.

Example Usage#

variable "lb_tg_arn" {
  type    = string
  default = ""
}

variable "lb_tg_name" {
  type    = string
  default = ""
}

data "aws_lb_target_group" "test" {
  arn  = var.lb_tg_arn
  name = var.lb_tg_name
}

Argument Reference#

The following arguments are supported:

  • arn - (Optional) The full ARN of the target group.
  • name - (Optional) The unique name of the target group.

~> Note: When both arn and name are specified, arn takes precedence.

Attributes Reference#

See the LB Target Group Resource for details on the returned attributes - they are identical.
