Configure Pub/Sub notifications for Cloud Storage

Overview

This page describes how to configure your bucket to send notifications about object changes to a Pub/Sub topic. For information on subscribing to a Pub/Sub topic that receives notifications, see Choose a subscription type.

Before you begin

Before using this feature, you should:

  1. Enable the Pub/Sub API for the project that will receive notifications.

    Enable the API

  2. Have storage.buckets.update and storage.buckets.get permission on the bucket you wish to monitor. See Using IAM Permissions for instructions on how to do this. If you own the project that contains the bucket, you most likely already have the necessary permission.

  3. Have sufficient permissions on the project that will receive notifications:

    • If you own the project that will receive notifications, you most likely have the necessary permission.

    • If you plan to create topics for receiving notifications, you should have pubsub.topics.create permission.

    • Whether you plan to use new or existing topics, you should have pubsub.topics.setIamPolicy permission. If you create a topic, you typically have pubsub.topics.setIamPolicy for it.

      See Pub/Sub Access Control for instructions on how to get these Pub/Sub permissions.

  4. Have an existing Pub/Sub topic that you wish to send notifications to.

  5. Get the email address of the service agent associated with the project that contains your Cloud Storage bucket.

  6. Use the email address that you obtained in the previous step to give the service agent the IAM role pubsub.publisher for the desired Pub/Sub topic.

Apply a notification configuration

The following steps add a notification configuration to your bucket that sends notifications for all supported events.

Console

You cannot manage Pub/Sub Notifications with the Google Cloud console. Use the gcloud CLI or one of the available client libraries instead.

Command line

gcloud

Use the gcloud storage buckets notifications create command:

gcloud storage buckets notifications create gs://BUCKET_NAME --topic=TOPIC_NAME

Where:

  • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

  • TOPIC_NAME is the Pub/Sub topic to send notifications to. If you specify a topic that doesn't exist in your project, the command creates one for you.

To send notifications for a subset of events, include the --event-types flag.

gsutil

Use the gsutil notification create command:

gsutil notification create -t TOPIC_NAME -f json gs://BUCKET_NAME

Where:

  • TOPIC_NAME is the Pub/Sub topic to send notifications to. If you specify a topic that doesn't exist in your project, the command creates one for you.

  • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

To send notifications for a subset of events, include the -e flag.

REST APIs

JSON API

  1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials. For instructions, see API authentication.

  2. Create a JSON file that contains the following information:

    {
  "topic": "projects/PROJECT_ID/topics/TOPIC_NAME",
  "payload_format": "JSON_API_V1"
}

    Where:

    • PROJECT_ID is the ID for the project associated with the Pub/Sub topic that you want to send notifications to. For example, my-pet-project.

    • TOPIC_NAME is the Pub/Sub topic to send notifications to. For example, my-topic.

    To send notifications for a subset of events, include the event_types field in the body of your JSON request.

  3. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a POST notificationConfigs request:

    curl -X POST --data-binary @JSON_FILE_NAME \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/notificationConfigs"

    Where:

    • JSON_FILE_NAME is the path for the file that you created in Step 2.

    • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.

    • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket you want notifications to be generated for. For example, my-bucket.

XML API

You cannot manage Pub/Sub Notifications with the XML API.

Get a notification configuration

To get a specific notification configuration that's associated with your bucket:

Console

You cannot manage Pub/Sub Notifications with the Google Cloud console. Use the gcloud CLI or one of the available client libraries instead.

Command line

gcloud

Use the gcloud storage buckets notifications describe command:

gcloud storage buckets notifications describe projects/_/buckets/BUCKET_NAME/notificationConfigs/NOTIFICATION_ID

Where:

  • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket whose notification configuration you want to retrieve For example, my-bucket.

  • NOTIFICATION_ID is the ID number of the desired configuration. For example, 5.

If successful, the response looks similar to the following example:

etag: '132'
id: '132'
kind: storage#notification
payload_format: JSON_API_V1
selfLink: https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/my-bucket/notificationConfigs/132
topic: //pubsub.googleapis.com/projects/my-project/topics/my-bucket

gsutil

You cannot get an individual notification configuration with gsutil. Use the gcloud CLI instead.

REST APIs

JSON API

  1. Get an authorization access token from the OAuth 2.0 Playground. Configure the playground to use your own OAuth credentials. For instructions, see API authentication.

  2. Use cURL to call the JSON API with a GET notificationConfigs request:

    curl -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH2_TOKEN" \
  "https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/BUCKET_NAME/notificationConfigs"

    Where:

    • OAUTH2_TOKEN is the access token you generated in Step 1.

    • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket whose notification configurations you want to list. For example, my-bucket.

XML API

You cannot manage Pub/Sub Notifications with the XML API.

Remove a notification configuration

To remove an existing notification configuration from your bucket:

Console

You cannot manage Pub/Sub Notifications with the Google Cloud console. Use the gcloud CLI or one of the available client libraries instead.

Command line

gcloud

Use the gcloud storage buckets notifications delete command:

gcloud storage buckets notifications delete projects/_/buckets/BUCKET_NAME/notificationConfigs/NOTIFICATION_ID

Where:

  • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the bucket whose notification configuration you want to delete. For example, my-bucket.

  • NOTIFICATION_ID is the ID number of the configuration you want to delete. For example, 5.

If successful, the response looks similar to the following example:

Completed 1

Once sent, it may take up to 30 seconds for all notifications triggered by the notification configuration to stop.

gsutil

Use the gsutil notification delete command:

gsutil notification delete projects/_/buckets/BUCKET_NAME/notificationConfigs/NOTIFICATION_ID

Where:

  • BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket. For example, my-bucket.

  • NOTIFICATION_ID is the ID number of the configuration you want to delete. For example, 5.

Once sent, it may take up to 30 seconds for all notifications triggered by the notification configuration to stop.
