- DESCRIPTION
-
(ALPHA)Mostgcloudcommands return a list of resources on success. By default they are pretty-printed on the standard output. The--format=NAME[ATTRIBUTES](PROJECTION)and--filter=EXPRESSIONflags along with projections can be used to format and change the default output to a more meaningful result.Use the
--formatflag to change the default output format of a command. For details run $ gcloud topic formats.Use the
--filterflag to select resources to be listed. For details run $ gcloud topic filters.Use resource-keys to reach resource items through a unique path of names from the root. For details run $ gcloud topic resource-keys.
Use projections to list a subset of resource keys in a resource. Resource projections are described in detail below.
Note: To refer to a list of fields you can sort, filter, and format by for each resource, you can run a list command with the format set to
textorjson. For example, $ gcloud compute instances list --limit=1 --format=text.To work through an interactive tutorial about using the filter and format flags instead, see: https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/open?git_repo=https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-shell-tutorials&page=editor&tutorial=cloudsdk/tutorial.md
- Projections
-
A projection is a list of keys that selects resource data values. Projections
are used in
--formatflag expressions. For example, thetableformat requires a projection that describes the table columns:table(name, network.ip.internal, network.ip.external, uri())
- Transforms
-
A
transformformats resource data values. Each projection key may have zero or more transform calls:_key_._transform_([arg…])…
This example applies the
foo() and then thebar() transform to thestatus.timeresource value:(name, status.time.foo().bar())
The builtin transform functions are:always()-
Marks a transform sequence to always be applied.
In some cases transforms are disabled. Prepending always() to a transform sequence causes the sequence to always be evaluated.
For example:
some_field.always().foo().bar()- Always applies foo() and then bar().
basename(undefined="")-
Returns the last path component.
The arguments are:
undefined- Returns this value if the resource or basename is empty.
collection(undefined="")-
Returns the current resource collection.
The arguments are:
undefined- This value is returned if r or the collection is empty.
color(red, yellow, green, blue)-
Colorizes the resource string value.
The
red,yellow,greenandblueargs are RE patterns, matched against the resource in order. The first pattern that matches colorizes the matched substring with that color, and the other patterns are skipped.The arguments are:
red- The substring pattern for the color red.
yellow- The substring pattern for the color yellow.
green- The substring pattern for the color green.
blue- The substring pattern for the color blue.
For example:
color(red=STOP,yellow=CAUTION,green=GO)- For the resource string "CAUTION means GO FASTER" displays the substring "CAUTION" in yellow.
count()-
Counts the number of each item in the list.
A string resource is treated as a list of characters.
For example:
"b/a/b/c".split("/").count()returns{a: 1, b: 2, c: 1}.
date(format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S", unit=1, undefined="", tz, tz_default)-
Formats the resource as a strftime() format.
The arguments are:
format- The strftime(3) format.
unit-
If the resource is a Timestamp then divide by
unitto yield seconds.
undefined- Returns this value if the resource is not a valid time.
tz-
Return the time relative to the tz timezone if specified, the explicit timezone
in the resource if it has one, otherwise the local timezone. For example:
date(tz=EST5EDT, tz_default=UTC).
tz_default- The default timezone if the resource does not have a timezone suffix.
decode(encoding, undefined="")-
Returns the decoded value of the resource that was encoded by encoding.
The arguments are:
encoding-
The encoding name.
base64andutf-8are supported.
undefined- Returns this value if the decoding fails.
duration(start="", end="", parts=3, precision=3, calendar=true, unit=1, undefined="")-
Formats the resource as an ISO 8601 duration string.
The ISO 8601 Duration format is: "[-]P[nY][nM][nD][T[nH][nM][n[.m]S]]". The 0 duration is "P0". Otherwise at least one part will always be displayed. Negative durations are prefixed by "-". "T" disambiguates months "P2M" to the left of "T" and minutes "PT5M" to the right.
If the resource is a datetime then the duration of
resource - current_timeis returned.The arguments are:
start-
The name of a start time attribute in the resource. The duration of the
end - starttime attributes in resource is returned. Ifendis not specified then the current time is used.
end-
The name of an end time attribute in the resource. Defaults to the current time
if omitted. Ignored if
startis not specified.
parts- Format at most this many duration parts starting with largest non-zero part.
precision- Format the last duration part with precision digits after the decimal point. Trailing "0" and "." are always stripped.
calendar-
Allow time units larger than hours in formatted durations if true. Durations
specifying hours or smaller units are exact across daylight savings time
boundaries. On by default. Use calendar=false to disable. For example, if
calendar=truethen at the daylight savings boundary 2016-03-13T01:00:00 + P1D => 2016-03-14T01:00:00 but 2016-03-13T01:00:00 + PT24H => 2016-03-14T03:00:00. Similarly, a +P1Y duration will be inexact but "calendar correct", yielding the same month and day number next year, even in leap years.
unit-
Divide the resource numeric value by
unitto yield seconds.
undefined- Returns this value if the resource is not a valid timestamp.
For example:
duration(start=createTime,end=updateTime)- The duration from resource creation to the most recent update.
updateTime.duration()- The duration since the most recent resource update.

{"foo": 1, "bar": "yes"} - and
-
{"foo": 0, "bar": "no"} - then the synthesized resource list is
-
[{"name": "up", "foo": 1, "bar": "yes"}, {"name": "down", "foo": 0, "bar": "no"}] - This could then be displayed by a nested table using
-
synthesize(…):format="table(name, foo, bar)"

- Key Attributes
-
Key attributes control formatted output. Each projection key may have zero or
more attributes:
_key_:_attribute_=_value_…
where =
valueis omitted for Boolean attributes and no-attributesets the attribute to false. Attribute values may appear in any order, but must be specified after any transform calls. The attributes are:alias=ALIAS-NAME-
Sets
ALIAS-NAMEas an alias for the projection key. align=ALIGNMENT-
Specifies the output column data alignment. Used by the
tableformat. The alignment values are:left- Left (default).
center- Center.
right- Right.
label=LABEL-
A string value used to label output. Use :label="" or :label='' for no label.
The
tableformat usesLABELvalues as column headings. Also setsLABELas an alias for the projection key. The default label is the disambiguated right hand parts of the column key name in ANGRY_SNAKE_CASE. - [no-]
reverse -
Sets the key sort order to descending.
no-reverseresets to the default ascending order. sort=SORT-ORDER- An integer counting from 1. Keys with lower sort-order are sorted first. Keys with same sort order are sorted left to right. Columns are sorted based on displayed value alone, irrespective of the type of value(date, time, etc.).
wrap[=MIN-WIDTH]-
Enables the column text to be wrapped if the table would otherwise be too wide
for the display. The column will be wrapped in the available space with a
minimum width of either the default or of
MIN-WIDTHif specified. The default is 10 characters. width=COLUMN-WIDTH- An integer denoting the width for the column. The default fits the table to the terminal width or 80 if the output is not a terminal.
