Lists all of the instances in the managed instance group. Each instance in the list has a currentAction 
, which indicates the action that the managed instance group is performing on the instance. For example, if the group is still creating an instance, the currentAction 
is CREATING 
. If a previous action failed, the list displays the errors for that failed action. The orderBy 
query parameter is not supported. The pageToken 
query parameter is supported only if the group's listManagedInstancesResults 
field is set to PAGINATED 
.

Query parameters
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| maxResults |   The maximum number of results per page that should be returned. If the number of available results is larger than  | 
| pageToken |   Specifies a page token to use. Set  | 
| filter |   A filter expression that filters resources listed in the response. Most Compute resources support two types of filter expressions: expressions that support regular expressions and expressions that follow API improvement proposal AIP-160 . These two types of filter expressions cannot be mixed in one request. If you want to use AIP-160, your expression must specify the field name, an operator, and the value that you want to use for filtering. The value must be a string, a number, or a boolean. The operator must be either  For example, if you are filtering Compute Engine instances, you can exclude instances named  The   You can also filter nested fields. For example, you could specify  To filter on multiple expressions, provide each separate expression within parentheses. For example:  By default, each expression is an   If you want to use a regular expression, use the    The literal value is interpreted as a regular expression using Google RE2 library syntax. The literal value must match the entire field. For example, to filter for instances that do not end with name "instance", you would use  You cannot combine constraints on multiple fields using regular expressions. | 
| orderBy |   Sorts list results by a certain order. By default, results are returned in alphanumerical order based on the resource name. You can also sort results in descending order based on the creation timestamp using  Currently, only sorting by  | 
| returnPartialSuccess |   Opt-in for partial success behavior which provides partial results in case of failure. The default value is false. For example, when partial success behavior is enabled, aggregatedList for a single zone scope either returns all resources in the zone or no resources, with an error code. |
