POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

SECTION/PROPERTY

Property to be set. Note that SECTION/ is optional while referring to properties in the core section, i.e., using either core/project or project is a valid way of setting a project, while using section names is essential for setting specific properties like compute/region. Consult the Cloud SDK properties page for a comprehensive list of properties: cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/properties

VALUE

Value to be set.

FLAGS

--installation

If set, the property is updated for the entire Cloud SDK installation. Otherwise, by default, the property is updated only in the currently active configuration.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

AVAILABLE PROPERTIES

core

account

Account gcloud should use for authentication. Run gcloud auth list to see your currently available accounts.

custom_ca_certs_file

Absolute path to a custom CA cert file.

default_regional_backend_service

If True, backend services in gcloud compute backend-services will be regional by default. Setting the --global flag is required for global backend services.

disable_color

If True, color will not be used when printing messages in the terminal.

disable_prompts

If True, the default answer will be assumed for all user prompts. However, for any prompts that require user input, an error will be raised. This is equivalent to either using the global --quiet flag or setting the environment variable CLOUDSDK_CORE_DISABLE_PROMPTS to 1. Setting this property is useful when scripting with gcloud.

disable_usage_reporting

If True, anonymous statistics on SDK usage will not be collected. This value is set by default based on your choices during installation, but can be changed at any time. For more information, see: cloud.google.com/sdk/usage-statistics

log_http

If True, log HTTP requests and responses to the logs. To see logs in the terminal, adjust verbosity settings. Otherwise, logs are available in their respective log files.

max_log_days

Maximum number of days to retain log files before deleting. If set to 0, turns off log garbage collection and does not delete log files. If unset, the default is 30 days.

pass_credentials_to_gsutil

If True, pass the configured Cloud SDK authentication to gsutil.

project

Project ID of the Cloud Platform project to operate on by default. This can be overridden by using the global --project flag.

show_structured_logs

Control when JSON-structured log messages for the current verbosity level (and above) will be written to standard error. If this property is disabled, logs are formatted as text by default.
Valid values are:

*

never - Log messages as text

*

always - Always log messages as JSON

*

log - Only log messages as JSON if stderr is a file

*

terminal - Only log messages as JSON if stderr is a terminal

If unset, default is never.

trace_token

Token used to route traces of service requests for investigation of issues. This token will be provided by Google support.

user_output_enabled

True, by default. If False, messages to the user and command output on both standard output and standard error will be suppressed.

verbosity

Default logging verbosity for gcloud commands. This is the equivalent of using the global --verbosity flag. Supported verbosity levels: debug, info, warning, error, and none.

app

cloud_build_timeout

Timeout, in seconds, to wait for Docker builds to complete during deployments. All Docker builds now use the Cloud Build API.

promote_by_default

If True, when deploying a new version of a service, that version will be promoted to receive all traffic for the service. This property can be overridden via the --promote-by-default or --no-promote-by-default flags.

stop_previous_version

If True, when deploying a new version of a service, the previously deployed version is stopped. If False, older versions must be stopped manually.

use_runtime_builders

If set, opt in/out to a new code path for building applications using pre-fabricated runtimes that can be updated independently of client tooling. If not set, the default path for each runtime is used.

auth

disable_credentials

If True, gcloud will not attempt to load any credentials or authenticate any requests. This is useful when behind a proxy that adds authentication to requests.

billing

quota_project

Project that will be charged quota for the operations performed in gcloud. When unset, the default is [CURRENT_PROJECT]; this will charge quota against the currently set project for operations performed on it. Additionally, some existing APIs will continue to use a shared project for quota by default, when this property is unset.
If you need to operate on one project, but need quota against a different project, you can use this property to specify the alternate project.

builds

kaniko_cache_ttl

TTL, in hours, of cached layers when using Kaniko. If zero, layer caching is disabled.

timeout

Timeout, in seconds, to wait for builds to complete.

use_kaniko

If True, kaniko will be used to build images described by a Dockerfile, instead of docker build.

component_manager

additional_repositories

Comma separated list of additional repositories to check for components. This property is automatically managed by the gcloud components repositories commands.

disable_update_check

If True, Cloud SDK will not automatically check for updates.

composer

location

Composer location to use. Each Composer location constitutes an independent resource namespace constrained to deploying environments into Compute Engine regions inside this location. This parameter corresponds to the /locations/<location> segment of the Composer resource URIs being referenced.

compute

region

Default region to use when working with regional Compute Engine resources. When a --region flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set. To see valid choices, run gcloud compute regions list.

use_new_list_usable_subnets_api

If True, use the new API for listing usable subnets which only returns subnets in the current project.

zone

Default zone to use when working with zonal Compute Engine resources. When a --zone flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set. To see valid choices, run gcloud compute zones list.

container

build_timeout

Timeout, in seconds, to wait for container builds to complete.

cluster

Name of the cluster to use by default when working with Kubernetes Engine.

new_scopes_behavior

If True, use new scopes behavior and do not add compute-rw, storage-ro, service-control, or service-management scopes. The former two (compute-rw and storage-ro) only apply to clusters at Kubernetes v1.9 and below; starting v1.10, compute-rw and storage-ro are not added by default. Any of these scopes may be added explicitly using --scopes. Using new scopes behavior will be the default in a future release. Additionally, if this property is set to True, using --[no-]enable-cloud-endpoints is not allowed. This property is ignored in alpha and beta, since these tracks always use the new behavior. See --scopes help for more info.

use_application_default_credentials

If True, use application default credentials to authenticate to the cluster API server.

use_client_certificate

If True, use the cluster's client certificate to authenticate to the cluster API server.

dataproc

region

Cloud Dataproc region to use. Each Cloud Dataproc region constitutes an independent resource namespace constrained to deploying instances into Compute Engine zones inside the region. The default value of global is a special multi-region namespace which is capable of deploying instances into all Compute Engine zones globally, and is disjoint from other Cloud Dataproc regions.

deployment_manager

glob_imports

Enable import path globbing. Uses glob patterns to match multiple imports in a config file.

filestore

location

Default location to use when working with Cloud Filestore locations. When a --location flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set.

functions

region

Default region to use when working with Cloud Functions resources. When a --region flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set. To see valid choices, run gcloud beta functions regions list.

gcloudignore

enabled

If True, do not upload .gcloudignore files (see $ gcloud topic gcloudignore). If False, turn off the gcloudignore mechanism entirely and upload all files.

interactive

bottom_bindings_line

If True, display the bottom key bindings line.

bottom_status_line

If True, display the bottom status line.

completion_menu_lines

Number of lines in the completion menu.

context

Command context string.

fixed_prompt_position

If True, display the prompt at the same position.

help_lines

Maximum number of help snippet lines.

hidden

If True, expose hidden commands/flags.

justify_bottom_lines

If True, left- and right-justify bottom toolbar lines.

manpage_generator

If True, use the manpage CLI tree generator for unsupported commands.

multi_column_completion_menu

If True, display the completions as a multi-column menu.

prompt

Command prompt string.

show_help

If True, show help as command args are being entered.

suggest

If True, add command line suggestions based on history.

ml_engine

local_python

Full path to the Python interpreter to use for Cloud ML Engine local predict/train jobs. If not specified, the default path is the one to the Python interpreter found on system PATH.

polling_interval

Interval (in seconds) at which to poll logs from your Cloud ML Engine jobs. Note that making it much faster than the default (60) will quickly use all of your quota.

proxy

address

Hostname or IP address of proxy server.

password

Password to use when connecting, if the proxy requires authentication.

port

Port to use when connected to the proxy server.

rdns

If True, DNS queries will not be performed locally, and instead, handed to the proxy to resolve. This is default behavior.

type

Type of proxy being used. Supported proxy types are: [http, http_no_tunnel, socks4, socks5].

username

Username to use when connecting, if the proxy requires authentication.

redis

region

Default region to use when working with Cloud Memorystore for Redis resources. When a region is required but not provided by a flag, the command will fall back to this value, if set.

spanner

instance

Default instance to use when working with Cloud Spanner resources. When an instance is required but not provided by a flag, the command will fall back to this value, if set.
