Patches the specified PacketMirroring resource with the data included in the request. This method supports PATCH semantics and uses JSON merge patch format and processing rules.

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/compute

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: compute1 --scope <scope> packet-mirrorings patch ...

Required Scalar Arguments

• <project> (string)
  • Project ID for this request.
• <region> (string)
  • Name of the region for this request.
• <packet-mirroring> (string)
  • Name of the PacketMirroring resource to patch.

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:

PacketMirroring:
  collector-ilb:
    canonical-url: string
    url: string
  creation-timestamp: string
  description: string
  enable: string
  filter:
    ip-protocols: [string]
    cidr-ranges: [string]
    direction: string
  id: string
  kind: string
  mirrored-resources:
    tags: [string]
  name: string
  network:
    canonical-url: string
    url: string
  priority: integer
  region: string
  self-link: 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 .collector-ilb canonical-url=et
  • [Output Only] Unique identifier for the forwarding rule; defined by the server.

• url=dolore

  • Resource URL to the forwarding rule representing the ILB configured as destination of the mirrored traffic.

• .. creation-timestamp=amet.

  • [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
• description=dolor
  • An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
• enable=sed
  • Indicates whether or not this packet mirroring takes effect. If set to FALSE, this packet mirroring policy will not be enforced on the network. The default is TRUE.
• filter ip-protocols=lorem
  • Protocols that apply as filter on mirrored traffic. If no protocols are specified, all traffic that matches the specified CIDR ranges is mirrored. If neither cidrRanges nor IPProtocols is specified, all IPv4 traffic is mirrored.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.
• cidr-ranges=dolor
  • One or more IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR ranges that apply as filter on the source (ingress) or destination (egress) IP in the IP header. If no ranges are specified, all IPv4 traffic that matches the specified IPProtocols is mirrored. If neither cidrRanges nor IPProtocols is specified, all IPv4 traffic is mirrored. To mirror all IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, use "0.0.0.0/0,::/0". Note: Support for IPv6 traffic is in preview.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.

• direction=ut

  • Direction of traffic to mirror, either INGRESS, EGRESS, or BOTH. The default is BOTH.

• .. id=sed

  • [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
• kind=dolore
  • [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#packetMirroring for packet mirrorings.

• mirrored-resources tags=ipsum

  • A set of mirrored tags. Traffic from/to all VM instances that have one or more of these tags will be mirrored.
  • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.

• .. name=consetetur

  • Name of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
• network canonical-url=invidunt
  • [Output Only] Unique identifier for the network; defined by the server.

• url=invidunt

  • URL of the network resource.

• .. priority=3

  • The priority of applying this configuration. Priority is used to break ties in cases where there is more than one matching rule. In the case of two rules that apply for a given Instance, the one with the lowest-numbered priority value wins. Default value is 1000. Valid range is 0 through 65535.
• region=labore
  • [Output Only] URI of the region where the packetMirroring resides.
• self-link=no
  • [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.

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 request-id=string
  • An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported ( 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

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").

• -p user-ip=string

  • Legacy name for parameter that has been superseded by quotaUser.
