Get a long-running operation

This snippet shows how to retrieve the latest state of a long-running operation. Use this to poll the status of an asynchronous task, like creating a cluster, to check if it has completed.

Code sample

Go

To authenticate to AlloyDB, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.

//go:build examples

package main

import (
	"context"

	alloydb "cloud.google.com/go/alloydb/apiv1"
	longrunningpb "cloud.google.com/go/longrunning/autogen/longrunningpb"
)

func main() {
	ctx := context.Background()
	// This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
	// It will require modifications to work:
	// - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
	// - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in:
	//   https://pkg.go.dev/cloud.google.com/go#hdr-Client_Options
	c, err := alloydb.NewAlloyDBAdminClient(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		// TODO: Handle error.
	}
	defer c.Close()

	req := &longrunningpb.GetOperationRequest{
		// TODO: Fill request struct fields.
		// See https://pkg.go.dev/cloud.google.com/go/longrunning/autogen/longrunningpb#GetOperationRequest.
	}
	resp, err := c.GetOperation(ctx, req)
	if err != nil {
		// TODO: Handle error.
	}
	// TODO: Use resp.
	_ = resp
}
