Google Cloud GCP Will NOT forward to Ingress that does not pass health checks. Could anyone share how exactly to configure Traefik Ingress to pass health checks? I think it needs to return a 200 on /health or something like that. But what would exact configuration look like? I am starting traefik using arguments rather than toml file. Thanks. 304 not accepted. Must be 200 I think. If I use the arg list what do I need to do to enable health checks?

UPDATE LATEST: CONFIG AND LOGS:

```auto
traefik.toml: |
    defaultEntryPoints = ["https","http"]

    [entryPoints]

      [entryPoints.http]
      address = ":80"

      [entryPoints.https]
      address = ":443"
        [entryPoints.https.tls]
          [[entryPoints.https.tls.certificates]]
          CertFile = "/ssl/tls.crt"
          KeyFile = "/ssl/tls.key"

      [entryPoints.traefik]
        address = ":8080"
        [entryPoints.traefik.auth.basic]
        users = ["admin:$apr1$imdkeZCP$Kp78/ikmqeoNsnV.L5xjC1"]

    [kubernetes]
      [kubernetes.ingressEndpoint]
        publishedService = "traefik/traefik-ingress-controller-http-service"

    [ping]
    entryPoint = "http"

    [api]
    entryPoint = "traefik"
    [backends]
    [backends.backend1]
       [backends.backend1.healthcheck]
       path = "/health"
       interval = "10s" 
     [backends]
    [backends.backend2]
       [backends.backend2.healthcheck2]
       path = "/ping"
       interval = "10s"

```

UPDATE: Here is my deployment. I think this correct but looking at the logs I am getting:

- - [29/Jun/2019:16:21:44 +0000] "GET /health HTTP/1.1" 404 19 "-" "kube-probe/1.13+" 4 "backend not found" "/health" 0ms

```

How do I setup to return the 200?

UPDATE: there is a ping setting but how to map this to health

```auto
# Ping definition
[ping]
  # Name of the related entry point
  #
  # Optional
  # Default: "traefik"
  #
  entryPoint = "traefik"

```

How to I enable /health which is where health check is done?
