DNS name for the GTM Domain set that includes this Property.
name
✔️
DNS name for a collection of IP address or CNAME responses. The value, together with the GTM domainName, forms the Property's hostname.
type
✔️
Specifies the load balancing behavior for the property. One of:
static. Lets you set up and configure DNS record sets yourself.
failover. Directs traffic to your primary traffic target. If that fails, to your backup traffic target.
ranked-failover. Directs traffic to the target with the highest precedence. If that fails, it's directed to your backup targets in order of precedence.
geographic. Maps end users to traffic targets based on their location.
cidrmapping. Uses a predefined CIDR to send end users to traffic targets based on their IP address.
weighted-round-robin. Distributes traffic based on your load proportion settings.
weighted-round-robin-load-feedback. Distributes traffic based on your load proportion settings and provides real-time information about your data center load.
weighted-hashed. Maps traffic to targets based on a hash of the client nameserver's IP address.
qtr. Directs traffic to targets based on frequency variation influence.
performance. Sends traffic to the location closest to the end user.
performance-with-load-feedback. Balances your traffic load using one or more resources, or load measurements.
performance-with-load-feedback-computed-targets. Balances your traffic load using resources, or load measurements, along with the targets' set weight.
performance-with-load-feedback-download-score. Deprecated. Sends end user traffic to targets based on a data center's response time to liveness tests.
asmapping. Uses a pre-configured AS map to direct end-user requests to targets.

✔️
Indicates the limit for the number of live IPs handed out to a DNS request.

traffic_target
Contains information about where to direct data center traffic. You can have multiple traffic_target arguments. Contains:
datacenter_id. A unique identifier for an existing data center in the domain.
enabled. A boolean indicating whether the traffic target is used. You can also omit the traffic target, which has the same result as the false value.

handout_cname. Specifies an optional data center for the property. Used when there are no servers configured for the property.
precedence. A non-negative integer that represents the failover rank in the event that the primary traffic target is down. Value is 0-255. The default is 0.
liveness_test

test_object_port. Required. Specifies the port number for the testObject.
answers_required. If test_object_protocol is DNS, enter a boolean value if an answer is needed for the DNS query to be successful.
disabled. A boolean indicating whether the liveness test is disabled. When disabled, GTM stops running the test, effectively treating it as if it no longer exists.
disable_nonstandard_port_warning. A boolean that if set to true, disables warnings when non-standard ports are used.
error_penalty. Specifies the score that's reported if the liveness test encounters an error other than timeout, such as connection refused, and 404.
http_header. Contains HTTP headers to send if the test_object_protocol is http or https. You can have multiple http_header entries. Contains:
name. Optional. The name of an HTTP header.
value. Optional. The value of an HTTP header.
http_error3xx. A boolean that if set to true, treats a 3xx HTTP response as a failure if the test_object_protocol is http, https, or ftp.
http_error4xx. A boolean that if set to true, treats a 4xx HTTP response as a failure if the test_object_protocol is http, https, or ftp.
http_error5xx. A boolean that if set to true, treats a 5xx HTTP response as a failure if the test_object_protocol is http, https, or ftp.
http_method. When the test_object_protocol is http or https, the HTTP method to send. Value is one of:
TRACE
HEAD
OPTIONS
GET (default)
PUT
POST
PATCH
DELETE
http_request_body. The Base64-encoded HTTP request body sent if the test_object_protocol is http or https.
peer_certificate_verification. A boolean that if set to true, validates the origin certificate. Applies only to tests with test_object_protocol of https.
recursion_requested. A boolean indicating whether the test_object_protocol is DNS. The DNS query is recursive.
pre_2023_security_posture. Whether to enable backwards compatibility for liveness endpoints that use older TLS protocols.
true allows the operation of pre-2023 security postures.
false sets failure for older and less secure protocol features rejected by OpenSSL 3.x.
alternate_ca_certificates. A list of alternate CA certificates.
request_string. Specifies a request string.
resource_type. Specifies the query type, if test_object_protocol is DNS.
response_string. Specifies a response string.
ssl_client_certificate. Indicates a Base64-encoded certificate. SSL client certificates are available for livenessTests that use secure protocols.
ssl_client_private_key. Indicates a Base64-encoded private key. The private key used to generate or request a certificate for livenessTests can't have a passphrase nor be used for any other purpose.
test_object. Specifies the static text that acts as a stand-in for the data that you're sending on the network.
test_object_password. Specifies the test object's password. It is required if testObjectProtocol is ftp.

health_threshold
Configures a cutoff value that is computed from the median scores.
use_computed_targets
For load-feedback domains only, a boolean that indicates whether you want GTM to automatically compute target load.
backup_ip
Specifies a backup IP. When GTM declares that all of the targets are down, the backup IP is handed out. If a backup IP is set, do not set a backup CNAME.
backup_cname
Specifies a backup CNAME. If GTM declares that all of the servers configured for your property are down, the backup CNAME is handed out. If a backup CNAME is set, do not set a backup IP.
balance_by_download_score
A boolean that indicates whether download score based load balancing is enabled.
unreachable_threshold
For performance domains, this specifies a penalty value that's added to liveness test scores when data centers have an aggregated loss fraction higher than this value.
health_multiplier
Configures a cutoff value that is computed from the median scores.
dynamic_ttl
Indicates the TTL in seconds for records that might change dynamically based on liveness and load balancing such as A and AAAA records, and CNAMEs.
max_unreachable_penalty
For performance domains, this specifies a penalty value that's added to liveness test scores when data centers show an aggregated loss fraction higher than the penalty value.
map_name
A descriptive label for a GeographicMap or a CidrMap that's required if the property is either geographic or cidrmapping, in which case mapName needs to reference either an existing GeographicMap or CidrMap in the same domain.

Attribute reference
There is no default standard output. Upon creation, the last line of the process log contains your property's ID.
