{ "name" : string , "project" : string , "createTime" : string , "dailyExportEnabled" : boolean , "streamingExportEnabled" : boolean , "freshDailyExportEnabled" : boolean , "includeAdvertisingId" : boolean , "exportStreams" : [ string ] , "excludedEvents" : [ string ] , "datasetLocation" : string } |
| Fields | |
|---|---|
name
|
Output only. Resource name of this BigQuery link. Format: 'properties/{property_id}/bigQueryLinks/{bigquery_link_id}' Format: 'properties/1234/bigQueryLinks/abc567' |
project
|
Immutable. The linked Google Cloud project. When creating a BigQueryLink, you may provide this resource name using either a project number or project ID. Once this resource has been created, the returned project will always have a project that contains a project number. Format: 'projects/{project number}' Example: 'projects/1234' |
createTime
|
Output only. Time when the link was created. Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and uses 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: |
dailyExportEnabled
|
If set true, enables daily data export to the linked Google Cloud project. |
streamingExportEnabled

If set true, enables streaming export to the linked Google Cloud project. |
freshDailyExportEnabled

If set true, enables fresh daily export to the linked Google Cloud project. |
includeAdvertisingId
|
If set true, exported data will include advertising identifiers for mobile app streams. |
exportStreams[]
|
The list of streams under the parent property for which data will be exported. Format: properties/{property_id}/dataStreams/{stream_id} Example: ['properties/1000/dataStreams/2000'] |
excludedEvents[]
|
The list of event names that will be excluded from exports. |
datasetLocation
|
Required. Immutable. The geographic location where the created BigQuery dataset should reside. See https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/locations for supported locations. |
