JSON representation

{ "id": string, "creationTimestamp": string, "name": string, "description": string, "region": string, "IPAddress": string, "IPProtocol": enum, "portRange": string, "ports": [ string ], "target": string, "selfLink": string, "loadBalancingScheme": enum, "subnetwork": string, "network": string, "backendService": string, "serviceLabel": string, "serviceName": string, "networkTier": enum, "ipVersion": enum, "allPorts": boolean, "metadataFilters": [ { "filterMatchCriteria": enum, "filterLabels": [ { "name": string, "value": string } ] } ], "kind": string }

Fields
id	string (fixed64 format) [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
creationTimestamp	string [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
name	string Name of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
description	string An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
region	string [Output Only] URL of the region where the regional forwarding rule resides. This field is not applicable to global forwarding rules. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.
IPAddress	string IP address that this forwarding rule serves. When a client sends traffic to this IP address, the forwarding rule directs the traffic to the target that you specify in the forwarding rule. If you don't specify a reserved IP address, an ephemeral IP address is assigned. Methods for specifying an IP address: IPv4 dotted decimal, as in 100.1.2.3 Full URL, as in https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/projectId/regions/region/addresses/address-name Partial URL or by name, as in: projects/projectId/regions/region/addresses/address-name regions/region/addresses/address-name global/addresses/address-name address-name The loadBalancingScheme and the forwarding rule's target determine the type of IP address that you can use. For detailed information, refer to IP address specifications.
IPProtocol	enum The IP protocol to which this rule applies. Valid options are TCP, UDP, ESP, AH, SCTP or ICMP. For Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancing, the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL, and one of TCP or UDP are valid. For Traffic Director, the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED, and only TCPis valid. For Internal HTTP(S) Load Balancing, the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL_MANAGED, and only TCP is valid. For HTTP(S), SSL Proxy, and TCP Proxy Load Balancing, the load balancing scheme is EXTERNAL and only TCP is valid. For Network TCP/UDP Load Balancing, the load balancing scheme is EXTERNAL, and one of TCP or UDP is valid.
portRange	string This field is deprecated. See the port field.
ports[]	string globalOperations.list of comma-separated ports. The forwarding rule forwards packets with matching destination ports. If the forwarding rule's loadBalancingScheme is EXTERNAL, and the forwarding rule references a target pool, specifying ports is optional. You can specify an unlimited number of ports, but they must be contiguous. If you omit ports, GCP forwards traffic on any port of the forwarding rule's protocol. If the forwarding rule's loadBalancingScheme is EXTERNAL, and the forwarding rule references a target HTTP proxy, target HTTPS proxy, target TCP proxy, target SSL proxy, or target VPN gateway, you must specify ports using the following constraints: TargetHttpProxy: 80, 8080 TargetHttpsProxy: 443 TargetTcpProxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1688, 1883, 5222 TargetSslProxy: 25, 43, 110, 143, 195, 443, 465, 587, 700, 993, 995, 1688, 1883, 5222 TargetVpnGateway: 500, 4500 If the forwarding rule's loadBalancingScheme is INTERNAL, you must specify ports in one of the following ways: A list of up to five ports, which can be non-contiguous Keyword ALL, which causes the forwarding rule to forward traffic on any port of the forwarding rule's protocol. The ports field is used along with the target field for TargetHttpProxy, TargetHttpsProxy, TargetSslProxy, TargetTcpProxy, TargetVpnGateway, TargetPool, TargetInstance. Applicable only when IPProtocol is TCP, UDP, or SCTP. Forwarding rules with the same [IPAddress, IPProtocol] pair must have disjoint port ranges. @pattern: \d+(?:-\d+)? For more information, refer to Port specifications.
target	string The URL of the target resource to receive the matched traffic. For regional forwarding rules, this target must live in the same region as the forwarding rule. For global forwarding rules, this target must be a global load balancing resource. The forwarded traffic must be of a type appropriate to the target object. For INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED load balancing, only HTTP and HTTPS targets are valid.
selfLink	string [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
loadBalancingScheme	enum Specifies the forwarding rule type. EXTERNAL is used for: - Classic Cloud VPN gateways - Protocol forwarding to VMs from an external IP address - The following load balancers: HTTP(S), SSL Proxy, TCP Proxy, and Network TCP/UDP. INTERNAL is used for: - Protocol forwarding to VMs from an internal IP address - Internal TCP/UDP load balancers INTERNAL_MANAGED is used for: - Internal HTTP(S) load balancers INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED is used for: - Traffic Director For more information about forwarding rules, refer to Forwarding rule concepts.
subnetwork	string This field is only used for INTERNAL load balancing. For internal load balancing, this field identifies the subnetwork that the load balanced IP should belong to for this Forwarding Rule. If the network specified is in auto subnet mode, this field is optional. However, if the network is in custom subnet mode, a subnetwork must be specified.
network	string This field is not used for external load balancing. For INTERNAL and INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED load balancing, this field identifies the network that the load balanced IP should belong to for this Forwarding Rule. If this field is not specified, the default network will be used.
backendService	string This field is only used for INTERNAL load balancing. For internal load balancing, this field identifies the BackendService resource to receive the matched traffic.
serviceLabel	string An optional prefix to the service name for this Forwarding Rule. If specified, the prefix is the first label of the fully qualified service name. The label must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the label must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash. This field is only used for internal load balancing.
serviceName	string [Output Only] The internal fully qualified service name for this Forwarding Rule. This field is only used for internal load balancing.
networkTier	enum This signifies the networking tier used for configuring this load balancer and can only take the following values: PREMIUM , STANDARD. For regional ForwardingRule, the valid values are PREMIUM and STANDARD. For GlobalForwardingRule, the valid value is PREMIUM. If this field is not specified, it is assumed to be PREMIUM. If IPAddress is specified, this value must be equal to the networkTier of the Address.
ipVersion	enum The IP Version that will be used by this forwarding rule. Valid options are IPV4 or IPV6. This can only be specified for an external global forwarding rule.
allPorts	boolean This field is used along with the backendService field for internal load balancing or with the target field for internal TargetInstance. This field cannot be used with port or portRange fields. When the load balancing scheme is INTERNAL and protocol is TCP/UDP, specify this field to allow packets addressed to any ports will be forwarded to the backends configured with this forwarding rule.
metadataFilters[]	object Opaque filter criteria used by Loadbalancer to restrict routing configuration to a limited set xDS compliant clients. In their xDS requests to Loadbalancer, xDS clients present node metadata. If a match takes place, the relevant routing configuration is made available to those proxies. For each metadataFilter in this list, if its filterMatchCriteria is set to MATCH_ANY, at least one of the filterLabels must match the corresponding label provided in the metadata. If its filterMatchCriteria is set to MATCH_ALL, then all of its filterLabels must match with corresponding labels in the provided metadata. metadataFilters specified here can be overridden by those specified in the UrlMap that this ForwardingRule references. metadataFilters only applies to Loadbalancers that have their loadBalancingScheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.
metadataFilters[].filterMatchCriteria	enum Specifies how individual filterLabel matches within the list of filterLabels contribute towards the overall metadataFilter match. Supported values are: MATCH_ANY: At least one of the filterLabels must have a matching label in the provided metadata. MATCH_ALL: All filterLabels must have matching labels in the provided metadata.
metadataFilters[].filterLabels[]	object The list of label value pairs that must match labels in the provided metadata based on filterMatchCriteria This list must not be empty and can have at the most 64 entries.
metadataFilters[].filterLabels[].name	string Name of metadata label. The name can have a maximum length of 1024 characters and must be at least 1 character long.
metadataFilters[].filterLabels[].value	string The value of the label must match the specified value. value can have a maximum length of 1024 characters.
kind	string [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#forwardingRule for Forwarding Rule resources.
