Asynchronously creates a linked dataset in BigQuery which makes it possible to use BigQuery to read the logs stored in the log bucket. A log bucket may currently only contain one link.

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/logging.admin

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: logging2 --scope <scope> folders locations-buckets-links-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The full resource name of the bucket to create a link for. "projects/[PROJECT_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]" "organizations/[ORGANIZATION_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]" "billingAccounts/[BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]" "folders/[FOLDER_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]"

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:

Link:
  bigquery-dataset:
    dataset-id: string
  create-time: string
  description: string
  lifecycle-state: string
  name: 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 .bigquery-dataset dataset-id=kasd

    • Output only. The full resource name of the BigQuery dataset. The DATASET_ID will match the ID of the link, so the link must match the naming restrictions of BigQuery datasets (alphanumeric characters and underscores only).The dataset will have a resource path of "bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/datasets/DATASET_ID"

  • .. create-time=lorem

    • Output only. The creation timestamp of the link.
  • description=sanctus
    • Optional. Describes this link.The maximum length of the description is 8000 characters.
  • lifecycle-state=nonumy
    • Output only. The resource lifecycle state.
  • name=rebum.
    • Output only. The resource name of the link. The name can have up to 100 characters. A valid link id (at the end of the link name) must only have alphanumeric characters and underscores within it. "projects/[PROJECT_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]/links/[LINK_ID]" "organizations/[ORGANIZATION_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]/links/[LINK_ID]" "billingAccounts/[BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]/links/[LINK_ID]" "folders/[FOLDER_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]/links/[LINK_ID]" For example:`projects/my-project/locations/global/buckets/my-bucket/links/my_link

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 link-id=string
    • Required. The ID to use for the link. The link_id can have up to 100 characters. A valid link_id must only have alphanumeric characters and underscores within 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").
