Authorization

To use this building block you will have to grant access to at least one of the following scopes:

  • View and manage your data across Google Cloud Platform services
  • View and write monitoring data for all of your Google and third-party Cloud and API projects
  • View monitoring data for all of your Google Cloud and third-party projects

Input

This building block consumes 6 input parameters

  = Parameter name
  = Format

name STRING Required

The project whose groups are to be listed. The format is "projects/{project_id_or_number}"

childrenOfGroup STRING

A group name: "projects/{project_id_or_number}/groups/{group_id}". Returns groups whose parentName field contains the group name. If no groups have this parent, the results are empty

descendantsOfGroup STRING

A group name: "projects/{project_id_or_number}/groups/{group_id}". Returns the descendants of the specified group. This is a superset of the results returned by the childrenOfGroup filter, and includes children-of-children, and so forth

pageToken STRING

If this field is not empty then it must contain the nextPageToken value returned by a previous call to this method. Using this field causes the method to return additional results from the previous method call

pageSize INTEGER

A positive number that is the maximum number of results to return

ancestorsOfGroup STRING

A group name: "projects/{project_id_or_number}/groups/{group_id}". Returns groups that are ancestors of the specified group. The groups are returned in order, starting with the immediate parent and ending with the most distant ancestor. If the specified group has no immediate parent, the results are empty

Output

This building block provides 7 output parameters

  = Parameter name
  = Format

group[] OBJECT

The description of a dynamic collection of monitored resources. Each group has a filter that is matched against monitored resources and their associated metadata. If a group's filter matches an available monitored resource, then that resource is a member of that group. Groups can contain any number of monitored resources, and each monitored resource can be a member of any number of groups.Groups can be nested in parent-child hierarchies. The parentName field identifies an optional parent for each group. If a group has a parent, then the only monitored resources available to be matched by the group's filter are the resources contained in the parent group. In other words, a group contains the monitored resources that match its filter and the filters of all the group's ancestors. A group without a parent can contain any monitored resource.For example, consider an infrastructure running a set of instances with two user-defined tags: "environment" and "role". A parent group has a filter, environment="production". A child of that parent group has a filter, role="transcoder". The parent group contains all instances in the production environment, regardless of their roles. The child group contains instances that have the transcoder role and are in the production environment.The monitored resources contained in a group can change at any moment, depending on what resources exist and what filters are associated with the group and its ancestors

group[].name STRING

Output only. The name of this group. The format is "projects/{project_id_or_number}/groups/{group_id}". When creating a group, this field is ignored and a new name is created consisting of the project specified in the call to CreateGroup and a unique {group_id} that is generated automatically

group[].parentName STRING

The name of the group's parent, if it has one. The format is "projects/{project_id_or_number}/groups/{group_id}". For groups with no parent, parentName is the empty string, ""

group[].displayName STRING

A user-assigned name for this group, used only for display purposes

group[].isCluster BOOLEAN

If true, the members of this group are considered to be a cluster. The system can perform additional analysis on groups that are clusters

group[].filter STRING

The filter used to determine which monitored resources belong to this group

nextPageToken STRING

If there are more results than have been returned, then this field is set to a non-empty value. To see the additional results, use that value as pageToken in the next call to this method
