Perform the given default action on incoming requests.

This allows full control of the default action of the load balancer,
including Action chaining, fixed responses and redirect responses. See
the `ListenerAction` class for all options.

It's possible to add routing conditions to the Action added in this way.
At least one Action must be added without conditions (which becomes the
default Action).

addAction

Add one or more certificates to this listener.

After the first certificate, this creates ApplicationListenerCertificates
resources since cloudformation requires the certificates array on the
listener resource to have a length of 1.

addCertificates

Load balance incoming requests to the given target groups.

All target groups will be load balanced to with equal weight and without
stickiness. For a more complex configuration than that, use `addAction()`.

It's possible to add routing conditions to the TargetGroups added in this
way. At least one TargetGroup must be added without conditions (which will
become the default Action for this listener).

addTargetGroups

Load balance incoming requests to the given load balancing targets.

This method implicitly creates an ApplicationTargetGroup for the targets
involved, and a 'forward' action to route traffic to the given TargetGroup.

If you want more control over the precise setup, create the TargetGroup
and use `addAction` yourself.

It's possible to add conditions to the targets added in this way. At least
one set of targets must be added without conditions.

addTargets

Register that a connectable that has been added to this load balancer.

Don't call this directly. It is called by ApplicationTargetGroup.

including Action chaining, fixed responses and redirect responses.

See the `ListenerAction` class for all options.

defaultAction

Default target groups to load balance to.

All target groups will be load balanced to with equal weight and without
stickiness. For a more complex configuration than that, use
either `defaultAction` or `addAction()`.

defaultTargetGroups

The mutual authentication configuration information.

mutualAuthentication

Allow anyone to connect to the load balancer on the listener port.

If this is specified, the load balancer will be opened up to anyone who can reach it.
For internal load balancers this is anyone in the same VPC. For public load
balancers, this is anyone on the internet.

If you want to be more selective about who can access this load
balancer, set this to `false` and use the listener's `connections`
object to selectively grant access to the load balancer on the listener port.

If `stickinessCookieDuration` is not set, `stickinessCookieName` will be omitted.

Perform the given Action on incoming requests.

This allows full control of the default Action of the load balancer,
including weighted forwarding. See the `NetworkListenerAction` class for
all options.

Add one or more certificates to this listener.

After the first certificate, this creates NetworkListenerCertificates
resources since cloudformation requires the certificates array on the
listener resource to have a length of 1.

Load balance incoming requests to the given target groups.

All target groups will be load balanced to with equal weight and without
stickiness. For a more complex configuration than that, use `addAction()`.

Load balance incoming requests to the given load balancing targets.

This method implicitly creates a NetworkTargetGroup for the targets
involved, and a 'forward' action to route traffic to the given TargetGroup.

If you want more control over the precise setup, create the TargetGroup
and use `addAction` yourself.

It's possible to add conditions to the targets added in this way. At least
one set of targets must be added without conditions.

tcpIdleTimeout

Return the given named metric for this Network Load Balancer.

This metric includes connections in the SYN_SENT and ESTABLISHED states.
TCP connections are not terminated at the load balancer, so a client
opening a TCP connection to a target counts as a single flow.

The total number of new TCP flows (or connections) established from clients to targets in the time period.

metricNewFlowCount

The total number of bytes processed by the load balancer, including TCP/IP headers.

The total number of reset (RST) packets sent from a client to a target.
