Class GroupServiceClient (1.0.0)

GroupServiceClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

The Group API lets you inspect and manage your groups <#google.monitoring.v3.Group>__.

A group is a named filter that is used to identify a collection of monitored resources. Groups are typically used to mirror the physical and/or logical topology of the environment. Because group membership is computed dynamically, monitored resources that are started in the future are automatically placed in matching groups. By using a group to name monitored resources in, for example, an alert policy, the target of that alert policy is updated automatically as monitored resources are added and removed from the infrastructure.

Methods

GroupServiceClient

GroupServiceClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Constructor.

Parameters
NameDescription
channel grpc.Channel

DEPRECATED. A Channel instance through which to make calls. This argument is mutually exclusive with credentials; providing both will raise an exception.

credentials google.auth.credentials.Credentials

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment. This argument is mutually exclusive with providing a transport instance to transport; doing so will raise an exception.

client_config dict

DEPRECATED. A dictionary of call options for each method. If not specified, the default configuration is used.

client_info google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo

The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.

client_options Union[dict, google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions]

Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options.

create_group

create_group(name, group, validate_only=None, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Creates a new group.

.. rubric:: Example

from google.cloud import monitoring_v3

client = monitoring_v3.GroupServiceClient()

name = client.project_path('[PROJECT]')

TODO: Initialize group:

group = {}

response = client.create_group(name, group)

Parameters
NameDescription
name str

Required. The project in which to create the group. The format is: :: projects/[PROJECT_ID_OR_NUMBER]

group Union[dict, Group]

Required. A group definition. It is an error to define the name field because the system assigns the name. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as the protobuf message Group

validate_only bool

If true, validate this request but do not create the group.

retry Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry]

A retry object used to retry requests. If None is specified, requests will be retried using a default configuration.

timeout Optional[float]

The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the request to complete. Note that if retry is specified, the timeout applies to each individual attempt.

metadata Optional[Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]]

Additional metadata that is provided to the method.

Exceptions
TypeDescription
google.api_core.exceptions.GoogleAPICallErrorIf the request failed for any reason.
google.api_core.exceptions.RetryErrorIf the request failed due to a retryable error and retry attempts failed.
ValueErrorIf the parameters are invalid.

delete_group

delete_group(name, recursive=None, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Deletes an existing group.

Parameters
NameDescription
name str

retry Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry]

A retry object used to retry requests. If None is specified, requests will be retried using a default configuration.

timeout Optional[float]
