An example for healthy domain

Below is an example for healty domain. It show the ELB has a target instance and it can foward requests to it. Because the security group associated the instance allows LB's security group.

% traceroute53 foo-development.example.com
hosted zone: example.com.
dns name: internal-foo-aws-1-123456.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.
load balancer: foo-aws-1 ["sg-0aaaaaaaaaaaaaa1", "sg-ccccccccccccccccc"]
listener[0]: port:443 arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:567890123456:listener/app/foo-aws-1/7890123456789abc/0cdef01234567789
listener[0]action[0]: forward arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:567890123456:targetgroup/foo-aws-1/89abcdef01234567

group_ids[0]sg[1]ip[2]: port:22 ["sg-33886655"]

An example for mismatched security groups

In this example Route53's hosted zone correctly have dns resource, which has correct dns_name, listener, target group but its 2nd security group's Permission set is empty.

% traceroute53 bar-blah.example.com
hosted zone: example.com.
dns name: internal-bar-blah-aws-tokyo-1-999888333.ap-northeast-1.elb.amazonaws.com.
load balancer: bar-blah-aws-tokyo-1 ["sg-0eeddccbbaa998877", "sg-06665554443332221"]
listener[0]: port:443 arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:ap-northeast-1:567890123456:listener/app/bar-blah-aws-tokyo-1/ef0123456789abcd/cccaaabbb9996667
listener[0]action[0]: forward arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:ap-northeast-1:567890123456:targetgroup/bar-blah-atyo-1/fedcba9876543210
listener[0]action[0]target[0]: i-0cc123456789abcd:8080 unhealthy
group_ids[0]: ["sg-c57c55cc", "sg-0336699ccff003366"]
group_ids[0]sg[0]: sg-c57c55cc
group_ids[0]sg[0]ip[0]: port:8080 ["sg-99776655"]
group_ids[0]sg[0]ip[1]: port:nil ["sg-11335577"]
group_ids[0]sg[0]ip[2]: port:22 ["sg-fe87dc65"]
group_ids[0]sg[1]: sg-0336699ccff003366
