REST Resource: billingAccounts.budgets

Resource: Budget

A budget is a plan that describes what you expect to spend on Cloud projects, plus the rules to execute as spend is tracked against that plan, (for example, send an alert when 90% of the target spend is met). Currently all plans are monthly budgets so the usage period(s) tracked are implied (calendar months of usage back-to-back).

Fields
name

string

Output only. Resource name of the budget. The resource name implies the scope of a budget. Values are of the form billingAccounts/{billingAccountId}/budgets/{budgetId}.
displayName

string

User data for display name in UI. The name must be less than or equal to 60 characters.
budgetFilter

object (Filter)

Optional. Filters that define which resources are used to compute the actual spend against the budget.
amount

object (BudgetAmount)

Required. Budgeted amount.
thresholdRules[]

object (ThresholdRule)

Optional. Rules that trigger alerts (notifications of thresholds being crossed) when spend exceeds the specified percentages of the budget.
notificationsRule

object (NotificationsRule)

Optional. Rules to apply to notifications sent based on budget spend and thresholds.
etag

string

Optional. Etag to validate that the object is unchanged for a read-modify-write operation. An empty etag will cause an update to overwrite other changes.

Filter

A filter for a budget, limiting the scope of the cost to calculate.

  "creditTypes": [
    string
  ],
  "creditTypesTreatment": enum (CreditTypesTreatment),

  "labels": {
    string: array,

  }
}
Fields
projects[]

string

Optional. A set of projects of the form projects/{project}, specifying that usage from only this set of projects should be included in the budget. If omitted, the report will include all usage for the billing account, regardless of which project the usage occurred on. Only zero or one project can be specified currently.
creditTypes[]

string

Optional. If Filter.credit_types_treatment is INCLUDE_SPECIFIED_CREDITS, this is a list of credit types to be subtracted from gross cost to determine the spend for threshold calculations.

If Filter.credit_types_treatment is not INCLUDE_SPECIFIED_CREDITS, this field must be empty. See a list of acceptable credit type values.
creditTypesTreatment

enum (CreditTypesTreatment)

Optional. If not set, default behavior is INCLUDE_ALL_CREDITS.
services[]

string

Optional. A set of services of the form services/{service_id}, specifying that usage from only this set of services should be included in the budget. If omitted, the report will include usage for all the services. The service names are available through the Catalog API: https://cloud.google.com/billing/v1/how-tos/catalog-api.
subaccounts[]

string

Optional. A set of subaccounts of the form billingAccounts/{account_id}, specifying that usage from only this set of subaccounts should be included in the budget. If a subaccount is set to the name of the parent account, usage from the parent account will be included. If the field is omitted, the report will include usage from the parent account and all subaccounts, if they exist.
labels

map (key: string, value: array (ListValue format))

Optional. A single label and value pair specifying that usage from only this set of labeled resources should be included in the budget. Currently, multiple entries or multiple values per entry are not allowed. If omitted, the report will include all labeled and unlabeled usage.

An object containing a list of "key": value pairs. Example: { "name": "wrench", "mass": "1.3kg", "count": "3" }.

CreditTypesTreatment

Specifies how credits should be treated when determining spend for threshold calculations.

Enums
CREDIT_TYPES_TREATMENT_UNSPECIFIED This is an invalid value.
INCLUDE_ALL_CREDITS All types of credit are subtracted from the gross cost to determine the spend for threshold calculations.
EXCLUDE_ALL_CREDITS All types of credit are added to the net cost to determine the spend for threshold calculations.
INCLUDE_SPECIFIED_CREDITS Credit types specified in the creditTypes field are subtracted from the gross cost to determine the spend for threshold calculations.

BudgetAmount

The budgeted amount for each usage period.

JSON representation 
{

  // Union field budget_amount can be only one of the following:
  "specifiedAmount": {
    object (Money)
  },
  "lastPeriodAmount": {
    object (LastPeriodAmount)
  }
  // End of list of possible types for union field budget_amount.
}
Fields
Union field budget_amount. Specification for what amount to use as the budget. budget_amount can be only one of the following:
specifiedAmount

object (Money)

A specified amount to use as the budget. currencyCode is optional. If specified when creating a budget, it must match the currency of the billing account. If specified when updating a budget, it must match the currencyCode of the existing budget. The currencyCode is provided on output.
lastPeriodAmount

object (LastPeriodAmount)

Use the last period's actual spend as the budget for the present period.

LastPeriodAmount

Describes a budget amount targeted to last period's spend. At this time, the amount is automatically 100% of last period's spend; that is, there are no other options yet. Future configuration will be described here (for example, configuring a percentage of last period's spend).

ThresholdRule

ThresholdRule contains a definition of a threshold which triggers an alert (a notification of a threshold being crossed) to be sent when spend goes above the specified amount. Alerts are automatically e-mailed to users with the Billing Account Administrator role or the Billing Account User role. The thresholds here have no effect on notifications sent to anything configured under Budget.all_updates_rule.

JSON representation 
{
  "thresholdPercent": number,
  "spendBasis": enum (Basis)
}
Fields
thresholdPercent

number

Required. Send an alert when this threshold is exceeded. This is a 1.0-based percentage, so 0.5 = 50%. Validation: non-negative number.
spendBasis

enum (Basis)

Optional. The type of basis used to determine if spend has passed the threshold. Behavior defaults to CURRENT_SPEND if not set.

Basis

The type of basis used to determine if spend has passed the threshold.

Enums
BASIS_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified threshold basis.
CURRENT_SPEND Use current spend as the basis for comparison against the threshold.
FORECASTED_SPEND Use forecasted spend for the period as the basis for comparison against the threshold.

NotificationsRule

NotificationsRule defines notifications that are sent based on budget spend and thresholds.

JSON representation 
{
  "pubsubTopic": string,
  "schemaVersion": string,
  "monitoringNotificationChannels": [
    string
  ],
  "disableDefaultIamRecipients": boolean
}
Fields
pubsubTopic

string

Optional. The name of the Pub/Sub topic where budget related messages will be published, in the form projects/{project_id}/topics/{topic_id}. Updates are sent at regular intervals to the topic. The topic needs to be created before the budget is created; see https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/budgets#manage-notifications for more details. Caller is expected to have pubsub.topics.setIamPolicy permission on the topic when it's set for a budget, otherwise, the API call will fail with PERMISSION_DENIED. See https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/budgets-programmatic-notifications for more details on Pub/Sub roles and permissions.
schemaVersion

string

Optional. Required when NotificationsRule.pubsub_topic is set. The schema version of the notification sent to NotificationsRule.pubsub_topic. Only "1.0" is accepted. It represents the JSON schema as defined in https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/budgets-programmatic-notifications#notification_format.
monitoringNotificationChannels[]

string

Optional. Targets to send notifications to when a threshold is exceeded. This is in addition to default recipients who have billing account IAM roles. The value is the full REST resource name of a monitoring notification channel with the form projects/{project_id}/notificationChannels/{channel_id}. A maximum of 5 channels are allowed. See https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/budgets-notification-recipients for more details.
disableDefaultIamRecipients

boolean

Optional. When set to true, disables default notifications sent when a threshold is exceeded. Default notifications are sent to those with Billing Account Administrator and Billing Account User IAM roles for the target account.
