List machines in a zone

To list the Distributed Cloud connected machines in a Distributed Cloud connected zone, complete the steps in this section.

To complete this task, you must have the Edge Container Viewer role ( roles/edgecontainer.viewer ) in your Google Cloud project.

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Edge Zonespage.

Go to Edge Zones
Click the desired zone.

The Google Cloud console displays detailed information about the selected zone, including a list of machines present in that zone.

Use the gcloud edge-cloud container machines list command:

gcloud edge-cloud container machines list \
    --project= PROJECT_ID 
\
    --location= REGION

Replace the following:

PROJECT_ID : the ID of the target Google Cloud project.
REGION : the Google Cloud region in which the target Distributed Cloud connected zone has been created.

Make a GET request to the projects.locations.machines.list method:

GET /v1/ PROJECT_ID 
/locations/ REGION 
?filter= FILTER 
&pageSize= PAGE_SIZE 
&orderBy= SORT_BY 
&pageToken= PAGE_TOKEN

Replace the following:

PROJECT_ID : the ID of the target Google Cloud project.
REGION : the Google Cloud region in which the target Distributed Cloud connected zone has been created.
FILTER : an expression that constrains the returned results to specific values.
PAGE_SIZE : the number of results to return per page.
SORT_BY : a comma-delimited list of field names by which the returned results are sorted. The default sort order is ascending; for descending sort order, prefix the desired field with ~ .
PAGE_TOKEN : a token received in the response to the last list request in the nextPageToken field in the response. Send this token to receive a page of results.

To get information about a Distributed Cloud connected machine in a Distributed Cloud connected zone, complete the steps in this section.

To complete this task, you must have the Edge Container Viewer role ( roles/edgecontainer.viewer ) in your Google Cloud project.

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Edge Zonespage.

Go to Edge Zones
Click the desired zone.

The Google Cloud console displays detailed information about the selected zone, including a list of machines present in that zone.
In the list of machines, click the desired machine.

The Google Cloud console displays detailed information about the selected machine.

Use the gcloud edge-cloud container machines describe command:

gcloud edge-cloud container machines describe MACHINE_ID 
\
    --location= REGION 
\
    --project= PROJECT_ID

Replace the following:

MACHINE_ID : the ID of the target machine resource.
REGION : the Google Cloud region in which the target Distributed Cloud zone has been created.
PROJECT_ID : the ID of the target Google Cloud project.

Make a GET request to the projects.locations.machines.get method:

GET /v1/ PROJECT_ID 
/locations/ REGION 
/machines/ MACHINE_NAME

Replace the following:

PROJECT_ID : the ID of the target Google Cloud project.
REGION : the Google Cloud region in which the target Distributed Cloud connected zone has been created.
MACHINE_NAME : the name of the target machine resource.
