  • -p filter=string

    • If this field is empty, all custom and system-defined metric descriptors are returned. Otherwise, the filter (https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/v3/filters) specifies which metric descriptors are to be returned.

  • -p page-token=string

    • If this field is not empty then it must contain the nextPageToken value returned by a previous call to this method. Using this field causes the method to return additional results from the previous method call.
