This page shows you how to get status information and other metadata about
Filestore operations.
Before you begin
You can only get operation information using the gcloud CLI. To use
the gcloud CLI, you must either
install the gcloud CLI
or use the Cloud Shell
that's built into the Google Cloud console:
You can get a list of Filestore operations by running the
operations list command:
gcloud filestore operations list
--[project=project-id] \
--[zone=zone]
where:
project-id is the project ID of the Google Cloud project that
contains the Filestore instance. You can skip this
flag if the Filestore instance is in the gcloud default
project. You can set the default project by running:
gcloud config set project project-id
zone is the zone where the Filestore
instance resides. Run the gcloud filestore zones list
command to get a list of supported zones. You can skip this flag
if the Filestore instance is in the gcloud default
zone. You can set the default zone by running:
gcloud config set filestore/zone zone
The command returns a response similar to the following:
operation-name is the name of the Filestore operation.
Use the
operations list
command to get a list of operation names.
project-id is the project ID of the Google Cloud project that
contains the Filestore instance. You can skip this
flag if the Filestore instance is in the gcloud default
project. You can set the default project by running:
gcloud config set project project-id
zone is the zone where the Filestore
instance resides. Run the gcloud filestore zones list
command to get a list of supported zones. You can skip this flag
if the Filestore instance is in the gcloud default
zone. You can set the default zone by running the config set filestore/zone
command:
gcloud config set filestore/zone zone
The command returns a response similar to the following:
