error getting HTTPHealthCheck %q: %w

Error message

error getting HTTPHealthCheck %q: %w

What it means

Fires in listTargetPools when HTTPHealthChecks().Get fails for one of the target pool's health check links — the health check referenced by a discovered target pool could not be fetched, blocking complete resource tracking.

Solutions

1. Check compute.httpHealthChecks.get permission
2. Retry; the health check may have been concurrently deleted — re-running discovery refreshes links
3. Verify the health check resource still exists in the project
