REST Resource: projects.traceSinks

Resource: TraceSink

Describes a sink used to export traces to a BigQuery dataset. The sink must be created within a project.

JSON representation 
{
  "name": string,
  "outputConfig": {
    object (OutputConfig)
  },
  "writerIdentity": string
}
Fields
name

string

Required. The canonical sink resource name, unique within the project. Must be of the form:

project/[PROJECT_NUMBER]/traceSinks/[SINK_ID].

E.g.:

Sink identifiers are limited to 256 characters and can include only the following characters: upper and lower-case alphanumeric characters, underscores, hyphens, and periods.
outputConfig

object (OutputConfig)

Required. The export destination.
writerIdentity

string

The service account will need to be granted write access to the destination specified in the output configuration, see Granting access for a resource. To create tables and write data this account will need the dataEditor role. Read more about roles in the BigQuery documentation. E.g.:

"service-00000001@00000002.iam.gserviceaccount.com"

OutputConfig

OutputConfig contains a destination for writing trace data.
