Create a new channel in a particular project and location.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

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: eventarc1 --scope <scope> projects locations-channels-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The parent collection in which to add this channel.

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:

Channel:
  activation-token: string
  create-time: string
  crypto-key-name: string
  name: string
  provider: string
  pubsub-topic: string
  state: string
  uid: string
  update-time: 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 . activation-token=amet.
    • Output only. The activation token for the channel. The token must be used by the provider to register the channel for publishing.
  • create-time=duo
    • Output only. The creation time.
  • crypto-key-name=ipsum
    • Resource name of a KMS crypto key (managed by the user) used to encrypt/decrypt their event data. It must match the pattern projects/*/locations/*/keyRings/*/cryptoKeys/*.
  • name=gubergren
    • Required. The resource name of the channel. Must be unique within the location on the project and must be in projects/{project}/locations/{location}/channels/{channel_id} format.
  • provider=lorem
    • The name of the event provider (e.g. Eventarc SaaS partner) associated with the channel. This provider will be granted permissions to publish events to the channel. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/providers/{provider_id}.
  • pubsub-topic=gubergren
    • Output only. The name of the Pub/Sub topic created and managed by Eventarc system as a transport for the event delivery. Format: projects/{project}/topics/{topic_id}.
  • state=eos
    • Output only. The state of a Channel.
  • uid=dolor
    • Output only. Server assigned unique identifier for the channel. The value is a UUID4 string and guaranteed to remain unchanged until the resource is deleted.
  • update-time=ea
    • Output only. The last-modified time.

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 channel-id=string

    • Required. The user-provided ID to be assigned to the channel.

  • -p validate-only=boolean

    • Optional. If set, validate the request and preview the review, but do not post it.

Optional General Properties

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

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -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.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
