Creates a snapshot.
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: file1 --scope <scope> projects locations-instances-snapshots-create ...
Required Scalar Argument
- <parent> (string)
- Required. The Filestore Instance to create the snapshots of, in the format
projects/{project_id}/locations/{location}/instances/{instance_id}
- Required. The Filestore Instance to create the snapshots of, in the format
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:
Snapshot:
create-time: string
description: string
filesystem-used-bytes: string
labels: { string: string }
name: string
state: 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 . create-time=duo
- Output only. The time when the snapshot was created.
description=vero
- A description of the snapshot with 2048 characters or less. Requests with longer descriptions will be rejected.
filesystem-used-bytes=vero
- Output only. The amount of bytes needed to allocate a full copy of the snapshot content
labels=key=invidunt
- Resource labels to represent user provided metadata.
- the value will be associated with the given
key
name=stet
- Output only. The resource name of the snapshot, in the format
projects/{project_id}/locations/{location_id}/instances/{instance_id}/snapshots/{snapshot_id}
.
- Output only. The resource name of the snapshot, in the format
state=vero
- Output only. The snapshot state.
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.
- out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to.
It will be a JSON-encoded structure.
The destination may be
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 snapshot-id=string
- Required. The ID to use for the snapshot. The ID must be unique within the specified instance. This value must start with a lowercase letter followed by up to 62 lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens, and cannot end with a hyphen.
