Create and run Connectivity Tests

Learn how to run Connectivity Tests by following the steps on this page.

To edit or delete one or more tests, see Update or delete tests.

To learn about Connectivity Tests, see the overview.

Before you begin

Before you can use Connectivity Tests, set up the following items in Google Cloud:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the project selector page.

   Go to the project selector

   Select or create a Google Cloud project.

2. Ensure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

3. Install the Google Cloud CLI, which is part of the Google Cloud CLI. To install the latest version of the gcloud CLI, see the gcloud CLI documentation.

   For a list of all commands, see the gcloud command reference.

4. Enable the Network Management API. Enabling the API provides you with the following:

   • Example API calls that use the Network Management API

     You can test Network Management API commands by using the API Explorer. In the Network Management API reference document, use the Try this API column to explore API fields and run a test.

   • Sample code that uses the API Python client

     The example code assumes that you have constructed a resource named api to interact with the Network Management API. To construct a resource, use the build function. See the following example:

     from googleapiclient.discovery import build
     api = build('networkmanagement', 'v1')
     

     For more information about the API Python client, see the following:

     • Google API Client Library for Python Docs in GitHub, which includes installation and authentication instructions.
     • The Network Management API reference documentation for the API Python client.
5. Obtain the permissions that you need to run and view tests. For details, see Assign access.

Run Connectivity Tests

When you run a Connectivity Test, you provide test inputs as a 5-tuple without the source port.

The following sections show you how to run a test for source and destination endpoints described in Common use cases.

From the Google Cloud console, you can run Connectivity Tests by using either of the following:

• The Connectivity Tests page, which is available from the Networking > Network Intelligence Center menu.

• The Network interface details page for a network interface of a Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instance. If you use this page, you must use the current network interface as either the Source or Destination of the test. This page only lists tests relevant to the current network interface.

Each test that you create runs immediately after you create it and is stored in the Connectivity Tests resource. A test exists until you delete it.

To check the status of a test operation while the operation runs, see Check a running test operation. Some examples of test operations are create and rerun.

When you use an IP address for the source or destination endpoint, you might need to specify additional fields.

Best practices

• When you test an endpoint (a VM or IP address) located in a Shared VPC service project, it's more convenient to run the test from the service project. This is because you can select the VM or IP address from the drop-down box in the Google Cloud console.

  However, you still must specify the host project before specifying the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network, because the network is in the host project. For details, see Test IP addresses in a Shared VPC network.

• When running a test between your VPC network and your peer or on-premises network, it can help to run another Connectivity Test by using the on-premises IP address as the source, and a VM instance or IP address in your VPC network as the destination.

  This type of test verifies that Google Cloud is advertising routes as expected to your on-premises network. However, Connectivity Tests doesn't verify that your on-premises network has received and implemented those routes.

• It takes between 20 and 120 seconds for Connectivity Tests to receive a configuration update and incorporate it into analysis. If you run a test immediately after making a configuration change, you might not see the results that you expect. Make sure that you wait long enough between making the configuration change and running your tests.

  This delay does not apply to live data plane analysis. Therefore, you might see a temporary mismatch between the results shown by live data plane analysis and configuration analysis. For example, if you add a firewall rule, it might be reachable for live data plane analysis. However, you might have to wait for some time before the firewall rule is reachable for configuration analysis.

Test to or from a VM with multiple network interfaces

This section describes how to test to or from a VM's non-primary network interface.

Console

If you specify a VM instance with multiple network interfaces as the source or destination of a test, Connectivity Tests prompts you to select a network interface from a list.

Alternatively, you can run a test from the Network interface details page for a network interface of a Compute Engine VM instance. If you use this page, you must use the current network interface as either the Source or Destination of the test.

gcloud and API

You must specify the network interface to use for the test in one of the following ways:

• IP address and network URI
• IP address and VM URI
• Network URI and VM URI

Providing only the URI for a VM with multiple interfaces selects only the VM's primary interface.

List all tests for a project

Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Connectivity Tests page.

   Go to Connectivity Tests

2. At the top of the page, in the drop-down project menu, select a project.
3. The Connectivity Tests page refreshes and shows you the tests for that project.

gcloud

To list all tests owned by a project, enter the following gcloud command. This command shows tests in the currently selected project.

  gcloud network-management connectivity-tests list

To list tests in a specific project, specify the PROJECT_ID.

  gcloud network-management connectivity-tests list --project=PROJECT_ID

API

To list all existing tests owned by a project, use the networkmanagement.connectivitytests.list method.

GET https://networkmanagement.googleapis.com/v1/{parent=projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/global}/connectivityTests

• Replace PROJECT_ID with the project ID of the project that contains the tests that you want to list.

Python

The following example code lists all existing tests owned by a project. For more information, see list in the API Python client reference documentation.

project_id = "PROJECT_ID"
parent = 'projects/%s/locations/global' % project_id
request = api.projects().locations().global_().connectivityTests().list(parent=parent)

print(json.dumps(request.execute(), indent=4))

Replace PROJECT_ID with the project ID of the project that contains the tests that you want to list.

Test between VM instances in a VPC network

These steps assume that both VM instances are in the same Google Cloud project.

Console

From the main Connectivity Tests page

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Connectivity Tests page.

   Go to Connectivity Tests

   The remaining steps appear automatically in the Google Cloud console.

Python

The following example code creates a test between two IP addresses. For more information, see create in the API Python client reference documentation.

test_input = {
  "source": {
      "ipAddress": "SOURCE_IP_ADDRESS",
      "projectId": "SOURCE_IP_PROJECT_ID"
  },
  "destination": {
      "ipAddress": "DESTINATION_IP_ADDRESS",
      "port": "DESTINATION_PORT",
      "projectId": "DESTINATION_IP_PROJECT_ID"
  },
  "protocol": "PROTOCOL",
}

request = api.projects().locations().global_().connectivityTests().create(
    parent="projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/global",
    testId="TEST_ID",
    body=test_input)

print(json.dumps(request.execute(), indent=4))

Replace the following values:

• SOURCE_IP_ADDRESS: the source IP address that you are testing from
• SOURCE_IP_PROJECT_ID: the project ID for the source IP address
• DESTINATION_IP_ADDRESS: the internal or external destination IP address that you are testing to
• DESTINATION_PORT: the IP protocol port of the destination; this option is valid only for TCP or UDP protocols
• DESTINATION_IP_PROJECT_ID: the project ID for the destination IP address
• PROTOCOL: a supported protocol for Connectivity Tests; the default protocol is TCP
• PROJECT_ID: the project ID of the project in which you are creating the test
• TEST_ID: the ID of the Connectivity Tests object (test) that you are running

If the VPC network is unknown, or you don't have permission to access the network, you can specify the network as GCP_NETWORK, instead of providing a network URI.

You do not have to confirm whether your IP address is in Google Cloud or whether the source and destination endpoints are outside the RFC 1918 address space. These parameters are automatically selected based on your source and destination IP addresses.

The following example creates a test between two IP addresses:

test_input = {
    "source": {
        "ipAddress": "SOURCE_IP_ADDRESS",
        "networkType": "GCP_NETWORK"
    },
    "destination": {
        "ipAddress": "DESTINATION_IP_ADDRESS",
        "port": "DESTINATION_PORT",
        "projectId": "DESTINATION_IP_PROJECT_ID"
    },
    "protocol": "PROTOCOL",
}

request = api.projects().locations().global_().connectivityTests().create(
  parent="projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/global",
  testId="TEST_ID",
  body=test_input)

print(json.dumps(request.execute(), indent=4))

Replace the following values:

• SOURCE_IP_ADDRESS: the source IP address that you are testing from
• SOURCE_NETWORK_TYPE: the type of network where the source is located; in this case, use a value of GCP_NETWORK
• DESTINATION_IP_ADDRESS: the IP address of the destination VM
• DESTINATION_PORT: the IP protocol port of the destination; this option is valid only for TCP or UDP protocols
• DESTINATION_IP_PROJECT_ID: the project ID for the destination IP address
• PROTOCOL: a supported protocol for Connectivity Tests; the default protocol is TCP
• PROJECT_ID: the project ID of the project in which you are creating the test
• TEST_ID: the ID of the Connectivity Tests object (test) that you are running

When you specify a private IP address from outside of Google Cloud as the source IP address, you must specify a networkType of NON_GCP_NETWORK.

Test IP addresses in a Shared VPC network

When you have a Shared VPC network, you can create and run a test from the host project or from the service project.

The following example shows both cases and uses a destination IP address allocated in the service project. The field values in the Google Cloud console are slightly different for each case. However, the command options for the Google Cloud CLI and for API calls are the same.

Note: When you specify a source or destination IP address in a Shared VPC network located in a host project, these IP addresses are actually allocated and used in a service project. Thus, when you select the network in a host project, you must also specify the service project ID for the IP address. Conversely, when you specify an IP address in a service project, you must also select its network in the host project.

Test from a VM to a Google-managed service

This section describes how to test from a VM in your VPC network to a service that runs in a Google-owned VPC network. For example, you can follow the steps in this section to test connectivity to a Cloud SQL instance or a GKE control plane (master). You can also run a test by using a Google-managed service endpoint as the source and an endpoint in your VPC network as the destination.

By default, Connectivity Tests attempts to run a test by using the private IP address of the Google-managed service endpoint. If the endpoint does not have a private IP address, Connectivity Tests uses the public IP address. Connectivity Tests analyzes whether the packet can reach the endpoint, which includes analyzing the configuration within the Google-owned VPC network. If configuration issues are detected within your project, the analysis stops before analyzing the Google-owned network configuration.

To test from a VM to a Google-managed service, see the following instructions.

Console

From the main Connectivity Tests page

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Connectivity Tests page.

   Go to Connectivity Tests

Test from a VM or an IP address to Private Service Connect endpoints or backends

This section describes how to test from a VM or an IP address to a Private Service Connect endpoint or backend.

For example, you can follow the steps in this section to test if a packet could be delivered to a published service that uses Private Service Connect. Connectivity Tests analyzes whether a packet can reach the endpoint or backend, which includes analyzing connected endpoints, backends, published services, and the proxy connection. The analysis ends early if the connection to a published service that uses Private Service Connect is not accepted.

You can test connectivity to the following:

• Endpoints for Google APIs

• Endpoints for published services

• Backends for Google APIs

• Backends for published services

You do not have to confirm whether your IP address is in Google Cloud or whether the source and destination endpoints or endpoints are outside the RFC 1918 address space. These parameters are automatically selected based on your source and destination IP addresses.

Test from an App Engine standard environment version to a destination

This section describes how to test connectivity from an App Engine standard environment version to a VM instance, an IP address, or a Google-managed service.

An App Engine standard environment app is made up of a single application resource that consists of one or more services. Within each service, you deploy versions of that service. You can test reachability from a version of an App Engine standard environment service to a VM instance, an IP address, or a Google-managed service.

To see a detailed configuration analysis, you must configure your service to use a Serverless VPC Access connector. A Connectivity Test result might be different for each version of the service. You can only test reachability for test packets that use the UDP or the TCP protocol.

Test from a Cloud Run revision to a destination

This section describes how to test connectivity from a Cloud Run revision to a VM instance, an IP address, or a Google-managed service.

You can deploy multiple Cloud Run services in a single project. Every Cloud Run service has an HTTPS endpoint on a unique subdomain of the *.run.app domain. Each deployment of the Cloud Run service creates a new immutable revision. You can test reachability from a revision to a VM instance, an IP address, or a Google-managed service. To see a detailed configuration analysis, you must configure a Serverless VPC Access connector for your revision. The Connectivity Tests results might be different for each revision.

For example, a Cloud Run service named cloud_run_test has a revision first-revision configured to use a Serverless VPC Access connector, and another revision second-revision that isn't configured to use a Serverless VPC Access connector. The overall reachability result might be reachable for first-revision but unreachable for second-revision.

When you create a Connectivity Test, you can select from a list of revisions for a Cloud Run service.
