snapshots

Creates, updates, deletes, gets or lists a snapshots resource.

Overview

Namesnapshots
TypeResource
Idgoogle.pubsub.snapshots

Fields

The following fields are returned by SELECT queries:

NameDatatypeDescription
namestringOptional. The name of the snapshot.
expireTimestring (google-datetime)Optional. The snapshot is guaranteed to exist up until this time. A newly-created snapshot expires no later than 7 days from the time of its creation. Its exact lifetime is determined at creation by the existing backlog in the source subscription. Specifically, the lifetime of the snapshot is 7 days - (age of oldest unacked message in the subscription). For example, consider a subscription whose oldest unacked message is 3 days old. If a snapshot is created from this subscription, the snapshot -- which will always capture this 3-day-old backlog as long as the snapshot exists -- will expire in 4 days. The service will refuse to create a snapshot that would expire in less than 1 hour after creation.
labelsobjectOptional. See [Creating and managing labels] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/labels).
topicstringOptional. The name of the topic from which this snapshot is retaining messages.

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

NameAccessible byRequired ParamsOptional ParamsDescription
projects_snapshots_getselectprojectsId, snapshotsIdGets the configuration details of a snapshot. Snapshots are used in Seek operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot.
projects_topics_snapshots_listselectprojectsId, topicsIdpageSize, pageTokenLists the names of the snapshots on this topic. Snapshots are used in Seek operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot.
projects_snapshots_listselectprojectsIdpageSize, pageTokenLists the existing snapshots. Snapshots are used in Seek operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot.
projects_snapshots_patchupdateprojectsId, snapshotsIdUpdates an existing snapshot by updating the fields specified in the update mask. Snapshots are used in Seek operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot.
projects_snapshots_deletedeleteprojectsId, snapshotsIdRemoves an existing snapshot. Snapshots are used in [Seek] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/replay-overview) operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot. When the snapshot is deleted, all messages retained in the snapshot are immediately dropped. After a snapshot is deleted, a new one may be created with the same name, but the new one has no association with the old snapshot or its subscription, unless the same subscription is specified.
projects_snapshots_createexecprojectsId, snapshotsIdCreates a snapshot from the requested subscription. Snapshots are used in Seek operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot. If the snapshot already exists, returns ALREADY_EXISTS. If the requested subscription doesn't exist, returns NOT_FOUND. If the backlog in the subscription is too old -- and the resulting snapshot would expire in less than 1 hour -- then FAILED_PRECONDITION is returned. See also the Snapshot.expire_time field. If the name is not provided in the request, the server will assign a random name for this snapshot on the same project as the subscription, conforming to the [resource name format] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/pubsub-basics#resource_names). The generated name is populated in the returned Snapshot object. Note that for REST API requests, you must specify a name in the request.

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

UPDATE examples

Updates an existing snapshot by updating the fields specified in the update mask. Snapshots are used in Seek operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot.

DELETE examples

Removes an existing snapshot. Snapshots are used in [Seek] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/replay-overview) operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot.

Lifecycle Methods

Creates a snapshot from the requested subscription. Snapshots are used in Seek operations, which allow you to manage message acknowledgments in bulk. That is, you can set the acknowledgment state of messages in an existing subscription to the state captured by a snapshot. If the snapshot already exists, returns ALREADY_EXISTS. If the requested subscription doesn't exist, returns NOT_FOUND. If the backlog in the subscription is too old -- and the resulting snapshot would expire in less than 1 hour -- then FAILED_PRECONDITION is returned. See also the Snapshot.expire_time field. If the name is not provided in the request, the server will assign a random name for this snapshot on the same project as the subscription, conforming to the [resource name format] (https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/pubsub-basics#resource_names). The generated name is populated in the returned Snapshot object. Note that for REST API requests, you must specify a name in the request.
