List the descriptors of the time series that match the metric and labels values and that have data points in the interval. Large responses are paginated; use the nextPageToken returned in the response to request subsequent pages of results by setting the pageToken query parameter to the value of the nextPageToken.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/monitoring

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: cloudmonitoring2-beta2 --scope <scope> timeseries-descriptors list ...

Required Scalar Arguments

<project> (string)
- The project ID to which this time series belongs. The value can be the numeric project ID or string-based project name.
<metric> (string)
- Metric names are protocol-free URLs as listed in the Supported Metrics page. For example, compute.googleapis.com/instance/disk/read_ops_count.
<youngest> (string)
- End of the time interval (inclusive), which is expressed as an RFC 3339 timestamp.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

ListTimeseriesDescriptorsRequest:
  kind: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

-r . kind=amet.
- Identifies what kind of resource this is. Value: the fixed string "cloudmonitoring#listTimeseriesDescriptorsRequest".

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

-o out
- out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

-p aggregator=string
- The aggregation function that will reduce the data points in each window to a single point. This parameter is only valid for non-cumulative metrics with a value type of INT64 or DOUBLE.
-p count=integer
- Maximum number of time series descriptors per page. Used for pagination. If not specified, count = 100.
-p labels=string
- A collection of labels for the matching time series, which are represented as:
  - key==value: key equals the value
  - key=~value: key regex matches the value
  - key!=value: key does not equal the value
  - key!~value: key regex does not match the value For example, to list all of the time series descriptors for the region us-central1, you could specify: label=cloud.googleapis.com%2Flocation=~us-central1.*
-p oldest=string
- Start of the time interval (exclusive), which is expressed as an RFC 3339 timestamp. If neither oldest nor timespan is specified, the default time interval will be (youngest - 4 hours, youngest]
-p page-token=string
- The pagination token, which is used to page through large result sets. Set this value to the value of the nextPageToken to retrieve the next page of results.
-p timespan=string
- Length of the time interval to query, which is an alternative way to declare the interval: (youngest - timespan, youngest]. The timespan and oldest parameters should not be used together. Units:
  - s: second
  - m: minute
  - h: hour
  - d: day
  - w: week Examples: 2s, 3m, 4w. Only one unit is allowed, for example: 2w3d is not allowed; you should use 17d instead.
  If neither oldest nor timespan is specified, the default time interval will be (youngest - 4 hours, youngest].
-p window=string
- The sampling window. At most one data point will be returned for each window in the requested time interval. This parameter is only valid for non-cumulative metric types. Units:
  - m: minute
  - h: hour
  - d: day
  - w: week Examples: 3m, 4w. Only one unit is allowed, for example: 2w3d is not allowed; you should use 17d instead.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

-p alt=string
- Data format for the response.
-p fields=string
- Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.
-p key=string
- API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.
-p oauth-token=string
- OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.
-p pretty-print=boolean
- Returns response with indentations and line breaks.
-p quota-user=string
- Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters. Overrides userIp if both are provided.
-p user-ip=string
- IP address of the site where the request originates. Use this if you want to enforce per-user limits.
