- gcloud preview compute operations describe - describe a Compute Engine operation
- SYNOPSIS
-
-
gcloud preview compute operations describeNAME[--global|--region=REGION|--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
(PREVIEW)gcloud preview compute operations describedisplays all data associated with a Compute Engine operation in a project. - EXAMPLES
- To get details about a global operation (e.g. operation-111-222-333-444), run:
gcloud preview compute operations describe operation-111-222-333-444 --globalTo get details about a regional operation, run:
gcloud preview compute operations describe operation-111-222-333-444 --region = us-central1To get details about a zonal operation, run:
gcloud preview compute operations describe operation-111-222-333-444 --zone = us-central1-a - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
-
NAME - Name of the operation returned by an asynchronous command. Use
gcloud compute operations listto display recent operations.
-
- FLAGS
-
- At most one of these can be specified:
-
--global - If set, the operation is global.
-
--region=REGION - Region of the operation to describe. Overrides the default
compute/regionproperty value for this command invocation. -
--zone=ZONE - Zone of the operation to describe. Overrides the default
compute/zoneproperty value for this command invocation.
-
- At most one of these can be specified:
- GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
- These flags are available to all commands:
--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.Run
$ gcloud helpfor details. - NOTES
- This command is currently in DEVELOPER PREVIEW and may change without notice. If
this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
access allowlist. These variants are also available:
