Path parameters

projectstring required

Project ID for this request.

regionstring required

Name of the region scoping this request.

firewallPolicystring required

Name of the firewall policy to update.

Query parameters

associatedPolicyToBeReplacedstring

Name of the firewall policy associated with the target network to swap association with. This field is mutually exclusive with 'replace_existing_association'.

replaceExistingAssociationboolean

Indicates whether or not to replace it if an association already exists. This is false by default, in which case an error will be returned if an association already exists.

requestIdstring

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).

Request body

attachmentTargetstring

The target that the firewall policy is attached to.

displayNamestring

[Output Only] Deprecated, please use short name instead. The display name of the firewall policy of the association.

firewallPolicyIdstring

Output only. [Output Only] The firewall policy ID of the association.

namestring

The name for an association.

priorityinteger

An integer indicating the priority of an association. The priority must be a positive value between 1 and 2147483647. Firewall Policies are evaluated from highest to lowest priority where 1 is the highest priority and 2147483647 is the lowest priority. The default value is 1000. If two associations have the same priority then lexicographical order on association names is applied.

shortNamestring

Output only. [Output Only] The short name of the firewall policy of the association.

Response

Successful response

clientOperationIdstring

[Output Only] The value of requestId if you provided it in the request. Not present otherwise.

creationTimestampstring

[Deprecated] This field is deprecated.

descriptionstring

[Output Only] A textual description of the operation, which is set when the operation is created.

endTimestring

[Output Only] The time that this operation was completed. This value is inRFC3339 text format.

httpErrorMessagestring

[Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error message that was returned, such as NOT FOUND.

httpErrorStatusCodeinteger

[Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error status code that was returned. For example, a 404 means the resource was not found.

idstring uint64

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the operation. This identifier is defined by the server.

insertTimestring

[Output Only] The time that this operation was requested. This value is inRFC3339 text format.

kindstring

Output only. [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#operation for Operation resources.

namestring

[Output Only] Name of the operation.

operationGroupIdstring

Output only. [Output Only] An ID that represents a group of operations, such as when a group of operations results from a bulkInsert API request.

operationTypestring

[Output Only] The type of operation, such as insert, update, or delete, and so on.

progressinteger

[Output Only] An optional progress indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. There is no requirement that this be linear or support any granularity of operations. This should not be used to guess when the operation will be complete. This number should monotonically increase as the operation progresses.

regionstring

[Output Only] The URL of the region where the operation resides. Only applicable when performing regional operations.

selfLinkstring

[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.

startTimestring

[Output Only] The time that this operation was started by the server. This value is inRFC3339 text format.

status'DONE' | 'PENDING' | 'RUNNING'

statusMessagestring

targetIdstring uint64

[Output Only] The unique target ID, which identifies a specific incarnation of the target resource.

targetLinkstring

[Output Only] The URL of the resource that the operation modifies. For operations related to creating a snapshot, this points to the disk that the snapshot was created from.
