Storage Insights API C++ Client Library
An idiomatic C++ client library for the Storage Insights API, a service that creates and manages inventory reports to help you manage your object storage at scale.
While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
Quickstart
The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/storageinsights/quickstart/
directory, which should give you a taste of the Storage Insights API C++ client library API.
#include "google/cloud/storageinsights/v1/storage_insights_client.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location-id\n";
return 1;
}
namespace storageinsights = ::google::cloud::storageinsights_v1;
auto client = storageinsights::StorageInsightsClient(
storageinsights::MakeStorageInsightsConnection());
auto const parent =
std::string{"projects/"} + argv[1] + "/locations/" + argv[2];
for (auto rc : client.ListReportConfigs(parent)) {
if (!rc) throw std::move(rc).status();
std::cout << rc->DebugString() << "\n";
}
return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
return 1;
}
Main classes
The main class in this library is storageinsights_v1::StorageInsightsClient
. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock storageinsights_v1::StorageInsightsClient
when testing your application.
Retry, Backoff, and Idempotency Policies.
The library automatically retries requests that fail with transient errors, and uses exponential backoff to backoff between retries. Application developers can override the default policies.
